The endlessly frustrating game of snooker continues to drive even the best players in the world to distraction, but after time away from the professional game, Michael Holt is enjoying life back on tour.
Holt is not back on tour just to make up the numbers, he wants to add another trophy to the one he lifted at the Shoot Out in 2020 and feels that has to be the goal for anyone scrapping it out with the best in the world.
After coming back to the tour with a new perspective on the game and, to an extent, life, how does the Hitman see his rivals dealing with life as professional snooker players?.
The Hitman had a couple of years in the amateur ranks after dropping off the pro tour, but booked his place back among the elite last year thanks to a string of good performances away from the big league.
The Hitman was suffering with illness to the point that he nearly pulled out of his qualifier in December, but he didn’t and when Neil Robertson got his dates wrong and missed the game completely, Holt was into the next round.
