2011 Australian Goldfields Open qualifiers at World Snooker Academy in Sheffield: Day 4 Results
Qualifying session of 2011 Australian Goldfields Open at the World Snooker Academy in Sheffield have ended on Thursday, June 30 featuring 16 players who will enter Bendigo Stadium in first round of the tournament on July 18.
A couple of close matches were played in the final day qualifiers at the academy arena. A new controversy also hit the arena when the 40-year-old Rory McLeod refused to shake hands with the female referee, Ivy Zhu of China, after his match ended.
Meanwhile, it was a disappointing day for Liam Highfield, as he crashed out of the qualifiers at the hands of Welshman, Dominic Dale, by the score line of 3-5. The match was pretty evenly balanced until the sixth frame when the scoreboard read 3-3. However, Dale swept the table brilliantly in the next two frames to ensure his victory. The scoreline of the final two frames was 86-0 and 70-10.
The Q School qualifier, David Gilbert finally got rewarded for his impeccable display of snooker in the qualifying session. He grabbed a 5-0 whitewash victory on the final day over Mark King to book a spot in Last-32. Gilbert fired some fine knocks of 54, 53 and 90 to unsettle his opponent completely.
Marcus Campbell is another player who made it to the first round of 2011 Australian Goldfields Open beating Mike Dunn after a close encounter by 5-4. Campbell had to bounce back from 0-3 down to win the crucial match in the end.
Rory McLeod ended Robert Milkins’ qualifying hopes when he nudged him 5-2 down in fourth round on Thursday. It was reported that McLeod didn’t shake hands with the Chinese female referee, Ivy Zhu. The reports have been confirmed, however, the reason for Mcleod's refusal is still undetermined.
The overall result after day four is given below:
Ricky Walden 0-5 Matthew Selt
