Stephen Maguire was left disgusted with his performance in a 6-0 thrashing at the hands of Kyren Wilson at the UK Championship.
Stephen Maguire had a day to forget in York The Scot came through qualifying and was expected to provide a test for the world champion but was a very long way from his excellent best. The 2004 winner of this event finished with a pot success rate of just 57 per cent and a high break of 32. Wilson didn’t have to find his best stuff to score the whitewash win, but did look good at the end, making breaks of 71 and 86 in the final two frames, the only two half-centuries of the match.
One thing to be happy about, at least it wasn’t a best-of-19 because that would have been 10-0. At least I can go home tonight. ‘I have to keep trying. Obviously that match there, I haven’t got a word for it, but hopefully it’s a one-off.’ Kyren Wilson capitalised on Maguire’s nightmare afternoon Shaun Murphy on punditry duty on the BBC said: ‘The 57 per cent pot success of Stephen Maguire, I’ve never seen that before. Who knows why he’s had such a bad day.
