Lee Page (born November 6, 1987 in Redditch ) is an English snooker player .
Career
Lee Page was very successful as a teenager and won the English U-13 championship. Several times he was the captain of English youth selection teams. In 2004, when he was 16, he took part in the Challenge Tour for the first time to qualify for the Snooker Main Tour . In the following year he managed to secure the eighth and final qualification place in the follow-up tournament , the Pontin's International Open Series (PIOS). So he was eligible to start in the professional tournaments for the first time in the 2006/07 season . His only major success, however, was winning the first qualifying round for the 2007 World Snooker Championship . His performance was not enough to stay on the main tour.
The following year he took part in the PIOS tournaments again, but only made it to the quarterfinals once. In 2008/09 he managed to do that three times before he secured third place in the PIOS rating by entering the finals in the seventh of eight tournaments and thus secured another year on the Main Tour. In the six ranking tournaments of the 2009/10 season , however, he managed only one win and so he lost his professional status again after a year. There was a break in which Page questioned his goals, after a year he took up snooker again.
Then there were major reforms in snooker, including the introduction of the Players Tour Championship (PTC), in which professionals and amateurs could participate. In three years he never got beyond the second main round. In the Main Tour qualification, which was reduced to three qualifying tournaments and now called Q School , he also took part for three years in a row. In the first tournament in 2013 he succeeded in winning his qualifying group, which this time entitled him to participate in the next two Main Tour seasons.
In his third attempt in professional snooker, Lee Page succeeded in winning the second tournament of the 2013/14 season , the Australian Goldfields Open . With only two more victories at PTC tournaments, he did not make it into the top 100 in the world rankings this year. In the second year, however, he came in the opening tournament, the Wuxi Classic 2014 , for the first time in his career under the last 64 of a ranking tournament and he advanced to 91st place in the world rankings .
