Snooker fans have heaped praise on Mark Williams for hitting one of the 'best shots of the year'.<br /><br />The Welsh snooker star, 48, was up against Barry Hawkins in the 2023 Champion last night as both looked to book their place in the last eight. <br /><br />However, despite losing 4-0 to Hawkins, Williams managed to produce a moment of excellence.<br /><br />The Welsh snooker star deliberately missed a pink which was hanging over the pocket to snooker his opponent. <br /><br />After completing the genius shot, Williams can be seen with a wry smile on his face as he walks back to his chair. <br /><br />Both the commentators and the audience could not believe what they saw - neither could snooker fans on social media.<br /><br />One person wrote on X: 'One of the greatest of all time love watching Mark Williams play.'<br /><br />Another said: 'One of the best shot makers in history. Wonderful player to watch<br /><br />A third added: 'Outstanding!' while a fourth also said: 'An absolute one-off this fella.'<br /><br />Lastly, a fan wrote: 'Unbelievable. The MW highlight reel is right up there with Ronnie, Trump, and Jimmy!'
