Didn’t realise the Jester was as low as 7
He really is an enigma.
On his day, he is as good as anyone currently, and even in the past. A true great in my opinion.
But he goes out of form very easily and he is horrific when he is like that.
His form has falling off a cliff over last 3 years.
Anthony Hamilton has withdrawn from the tournament due to being an asthmatic.
Karen Wilson gets a bye into Round 2
Ah FFS.
Would he not have pulled out before the final round of qualifiers and let someone else in?
