Stuart
Bingham is the player who perhaps best exemplifies the ‘have cue, will travel’
attitude.
All
throughout his career, he has actively sought out snooker at any level to play
in. If there was a pro-am on, Bingham would be there and would invariably be
the winner. No tournament is beneath him: it’s the same game after all.
So
here we are not yet even into July and Bingham has won two titles this season:
first the large Pink Ribbon pro-am in Gloucester and today the first Asian PTC
in Zhangjiagang, China.
Bingham
defeated Stephen Lee 4-3 in the final. The event was dominated by Chinese
players but the latter stages were mainly contested by professionals.
These
ranking points could be very important at the next cut-off. Bingham began the
season 16th on the ranking list and 14th in the
projected seedings.
His
love of playing and preparedness to go wherever he needs to is admirable.
Stuart is one of snooker’s genuine good guys and all the success he has had he
has earned the hard way.
