<\/p>\nSHAUN MURPHY became the first player to hit a 147 in the quick-fire Snooker Shoot Out format on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The Magician hit a historic maximum break in just seven minutes and 35 seconds to cruise past 16-year-old Bulcsu Revesz.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
After breaking off, Revesz did not get to play another shot as Murphy set about clearing the table whilst also having to beat a clock counter.<\/p>\n
The Essex-born snooker star refused to let the lively crowd get the better of him – despite one person shouting: "Don\u2019t bottle it now!" at a crucial moment.<\/p>\n
And he was serenaded with cheers and a huge round of applause when he potted the black.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Eurosport after the match, Murphy said: "On the [final] blue a fella shouted out 'don't bottle it'. Goodness me, my heart's going. It was great fun.<\/p>\n
"I love the event and can't believe what's just happened. It was a real buzz. You get excited out there playing this event, win or lose.<\/p>\n "I've done both, played really nicely and really badly, but for the fans here, they've seen something special, it was a pleasure to play for them."<\/p>\n He later told the World Snooker Tour channel: "I was trying to make the 147 from the very first shot.<\/p>\n "It was one of the best I have ever made. I am absolutely buzzing. Every ball I hit went in the middle of the pocket. I am gobsmacked."<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/JF-SPORT-RONNIE.jpg\")
