At this point, the Scottish Open Snooker tournament will begin. Local star Mark Allen won the Northern Ireland Open to kick off the four-event mini-series. And Allen has been on fire of late, as he won his first UK Championship on Sunday.

After Allen’s win, Ronnie O’Sullivan commented on Eurosport, “It will give him great confidence.” There will be a bit of a bullseye on his back now that he is winning tournaments while not playing well. Others on the team will be amped up to take him down. It will be different now because many players will sit there thinking, “I want to get into him.”
