Chris Totten (born December 5, 1998 in Wishaw ) is a Scottish snooker player .
Career
Chris Totten, like four-time world champion John Higgins , was born in Wishaw and grew up in neighboring Newmains. At the age of 10 he started playing snooker and at the age of 12 he was one of the best youth players in his country. In his first year as a U14 player, he was in the final of five of six tournaments and won three of them. A few days after his 14th birthday, he first appeared in the Scottish Open , a tournament on the Snooker Main Tour that is open to amateurs . The following season he took part in two more PTC tournaments on the continent and celebrated his first victory in the amateur round. From 2015 he also enrolled in international junior championships and at least reached the last sixteen at the U21 European Championship . The following year he lost at the U18 European Championship in the round of 16 against the eventual finalist Jackson Page . In the other tournaments, including the European Senior Championship, he was each among the last 32. In May 2016, he became the youngest player after Stephen Hendry Scottish amateur champion .
In 2016 Totten tried to get into the professional tour through the Q School , but he met ex-professionals Lü Haotian and Alexander Ursenbacher very early in both tournaments and was eliminated in each case. The following season he qualified for one of the two wildcards for the Scottish Open , where he lost to Dominic Dale 2-4 . At the Home Internationals , the team championship of the British Isles, he was part of the team of four that brought the title back to Scotland after 13 years. At the U18 World Cup , he made it to the semi-finals. In spring 2017, as an 18-year-old, he reached the final at the European Championships with victories over Kacper Filipiak and Jamie Rhys Clarke and won the title with a 7-3 win over Andres Petrov . He qualified for the following two seasons of the Main Tour. He also got a starting place at the Professional World Championship , where he faced Ben Woollaston and lost 4:10.
In the first games of the professional season 2017/18 he was unsuccessful and lost his qualifying and opening matches.
