Welsh man Mark Williams is in incredible form in the World Snooker Championship final thus far, so much so that he decided to sink a straightforward pot with his eyes closed.
Lining up a standard bottom-right pocket shot, Williams closed his eyes as he fired the cue ball to the surprise of the Eurosport team. Snooker pro Stephen Hendry was highly amused by the act and declared "no normal player would do it.”
It's the World Championship final...

Williams approach is paying off in his game. His willingness to take risks and play on the edge saw he land this outstanding frame-winner earlier today.
