Welshman Jackson Page made the first maximum 147 break of his career in the qualifying tournament for the World Snooker Championship.

Page made three half-century clearances as well as a 109 break as he opened up a commanding 6-1 lead over England’s Allan Taylor in the third round of qualifying.

The 23-year-old put himself in line for the £10,000 bonus for a maximum during qualifying – as well as the £15,000 high break prize for the event – with his 147 in the eighth frame.

Page then made a break of 94 to win the next frame, leaving him 8-1 ahead and just two away from victory, with the best-of-19 match set to be concluded on Monday.

The qualifying rounds at Sheffield’s English Institute of Sport run until 16 April, with the World Championship due to begin at the city’s Crucible Theatre three days later.
