Snooker: O’Brien reaches second round of Thailand Masters
Ireland’s Fergal O’Brien has booked a place in the last 16 of the Thailand Masters after beating Mark Davis 5-2 in Bangkok today.
Davis, ranked 60th in the world, won the first frame, but O’Brien took three in a row to lead by two at the interval. Davis pulled one back after the break, but O’Brien took frame six with a 33 break and secured the win with a clearance in the seventh.
The Dubliner, who crashed out of the China Open in the first round last week, will now go on to play either Peter Ebdon or Stuart Pettman.
