Snooker star stuns fans with 'near-impossible' shot

Ronnie O’Sullivan never ceases to amaze.

The snooker legend has stunned fans with an incredible shot at the UK Championship in York.

Battling Ken Doherty in his latest match, O’Sullivan was leading 2-1 and winning the fourth frame by 34 points.

However he was faced with an extremely difficult pot on the blue to continue his charge towards victory.

The blue was tucked right up against the cushion, not very close to any of the pockets.

But O’Sullivan managed to pull a stunning shot out of his bag.

He cut the blue ball so finely that it eased its way straight down the cushion and into the lower left pocket.

He also left the cue ball in perfect position for a shot on the pink.

Even considering the greatness of O’Sullivan, fans couldn’t believe what they’d seen.

The Daily Star described it as a ‘near-impossible’ pot, while others said it was the shot of the tournament so far.
