Will Zhou Yuelong qualify for the Players
First round matches of the Welsh Open completed.
The top 11 on the 1-year list are guaranteed places in the Players next week.
The next five will add to their totals with each additional win in Llandudno except Zhou Yuelong whose Welsh Open campaign ended in Barnsley, knocked out by the upwardly travelling Wu Yize.
12 Shaun Murphy £80,000
13 Zhou Yuelong £79,500
14 Chris Wakelin £73,500
15 Mark Williams £71,500
16 Barry Hawkins £69,500
Below that Neil Robertson on £68,000 would overtake Zhou Yuelong with a run to the semi-finals whilst those further behind would need either the final (Ronnie O'Sullivan for example) or to win the event (which covers everybody).
There are few scenarios which would result in Shaun Murphy failing to qualify for Wolverhampton. All of them require Chris Wakelin to lose at the quarter-final stage in Llandudno.
But what of Zhou Yuelong a mere £500 behind?
