Anthony Hamilton whitewashes Jimmy White at British Open, David Gilbert eases through

Anthony Hamilton ended Jimmy White’s hopes of reaching the British Open last 64 with a 4-0 whitewash of the ‘Whirlwind’ in Wigan.

White rolled in a magical 133 break in completing a 5-4 win over Andrew Pagett in European Masters qualifying last month, but could not emulate that form against former German Masters winner Hamilton, who finished with a break of 100 to advance.

White is a two-time winner of the British Open. He first claimed the title with a 13-9 win over Neal Foulds in 1987 before defeating James Wattana 10-7 in the final five years later.
