He defeated Hassan Kerde 4-1 in the final of the Asia-Pacific Seniors and locked in his spot for the Seniors Championship which will take place at the Crucible Theatre from the 8-12th May

“I grew up watching Stephen Hendry at the crucible on VHS tapes passed on from snooker enthusiasts and always dreamed of going even just to be a part of the crowd – now I could get to play him – its a dream come true“

Tyson started playing as a junior at just 12 which is when he first met Neil Robertson. They both played at the national championship.

He fondly recalls that The Thunder lost the semi and he lost the final, which was probably the first and last time I got one up on Neil.
