Tenth 147 for Murphy

Shaun Murphy achieved his tenth career maximum break, a 147, during a match against Zhou Jinhao at the Weide Cup World Open. This break marks the 214th official maximum in snooker history and the 12th of the current season. Murphy's accomplishment elevates him to fourth place on the all-time list, surpassing Stuart Bingham. Only Ronnie O'Sullivan (15), John Higgins (13), and Stephen Hendry (11) have more maximum breaks. Murphy's 147 also positions him to claim the £5,000 high break prize, provided no other player matches this feat
