Snooker Shoot Out 2023 live – Mark Allen, Kyren Wilson, Ali Carter and Stan Moody headline blockbuster early action
‘Why not bring it out!’ – Wilson explains why he wore an oven glove
Kyren Wilson decided to wear an oven glove during his Snooker Shoot Out second-round win on Friday afternoon.
The former World Championship finalist is looking to bounce back at the event this weekend after a 6-5 defeat to world No. 60 Jamie Clarke, despite being 5-1 up, at the UK Championship last week.
Wilson edged past Daniel Wells 47-38 in the Shoot Out first round on Wednesday to book his place in the last 64. On Friday, he was up against Egypt’s Mostafa Dorgham.
An error from Dorgham allowed Wilson back into the frame and he capitalised in a 71-14 win. Once Wilson knew the frame was sealed, he put a bright red oven glove on his bridge hand to the delight of the crowd inside Swansea Arena.
“The kitchen were kind enough to lend me it,” Wilson explained to Eurosport after the match.
“I just thought this event is so much fun. Obviously I got it out when I won the frame, I wouldn’t do it if I needed to win it. Everyone wants a good time.
“It’s a good weekend. So yeah, why not bring it out?
“I just kept hearing someone shout ‘don’t forget the roast’. I’m cooking a roast apparently.”
