Lisowski Top of the PIOS
18-year-old sensation, Jack Lisowski has won the eight and final PIOS event and claimed his place amongst snooker’s elite next season.
His achievement is made all the more remarkable by the fact that it is less than two years since he was given the all clear from cancer.
After winning such a tough battle, he has made securing a place on the professional tour look easy.
The likeable youngster won the first and last event in the eight event series, breaking Kuldesh Johal’s ranking points record in the process.
He will now take his rightful place on tour with the likes of world champion, Neil Robertson, Ronnie O’Sullivan and Ding Junhui.
He will be joined by 19-year-old, Liam Highfield who finished second after making the early running and leading the PIOS Rankings race midway through the season.
Scotland’s Anthony McGill (19) and England’s Kyren Wilson (18) make up an impressive quartet of young guns making their first appearance on the professional circuit in the 2010/11 season.
These four debutants will be joined by four players who have previous experience at snooker’s highest level.
Paul Davison also won two events in finishing third with Jamie O’Neill (6th), Justin Astley (7th) and Jamie Jones (8th).
