Hong Kong’s Marco Fu makes blistering 147 maximum break: ‘it could be among the three fastest ever,’ coach Wayne Griffiths says
- Ronnie O’Sullivan is credited with the fastest televised break and Griffiths says officials are trying to verify Fu’s effort is among the top three
- The coach says Fu is enjoying his snooker and cannot wait to return to the professional tour once the Covid-19 situation eases in the UK
Marco Fu Ka-chun this week completed a blistering 147 break in six-and-a-half minutes – one of the fastest maximums recorded on film, Hong Kong coach Wayne Griffiths says.
Hong Kong’s former top-10 player has been knocking in century breaks over the past few weeks and is super keen to make a return to the world professional tour.
However, he will not fly to Britain until the Covid-19 situation is under control. And, for now, it looks like he may have a long wait with the UK battling a surge in new infections.
“I’ve been training with him and he is really enjoying his snooker at the moment. His 147 was not just a 147, it was a very fast 147 and may be among the top three ever recorded on film,” Griffiths said of Fu’s maximum in six minutes, 25 seconds.
“We are trying to verify that. Marco is playing very well and is looking forward to returning to competition but it’s basically week to week.
