Chang sets new 147-break record

Chang Bingyu scored the first 147 break of his professional career during the third-round qualifying match of the UK Championship against Stephen Maguire. That perfect clearance pushed this season’s total of maximum breaks to 16 — surpassing the previous single-season record of 15. Despite the milestone, Chang lost the match 6–5. Because of the 147, he will share the £15,000 “high break” prize with Liam Pullen — unless another player matches it.
