Paul S. Davison (born October 1, 1971 in Pickering ) is an English snooker player .

Career

Davison turned pro in 1992, his highest position in the snooker world rankings remained for the time being number 127 before he had to leave the tour in 1997. After a year he returned to the Snooker Main Tour , but could not hold on again. The change between dropping out and immediate re-qualification for the professional tour followed almost every year, only from 2000 to 2003 he was able to stay on the tour for three years in a row.

The 2010/11 season was his most successful to date; For the first time he reached the last qualifying round of a full world ranking tournament at the Welsh Open 2011 and the quarter-finals at the PTC tournament in Hamm . He also managed to stay on the professional tour via the prize money list of the PTC tour, with 78th place at the end of the season.

During the 2011/12 season , Davison was able to reach the finals for the first time in a full ranking tournament (the German Masters 2012 ) after he had survived all three necessary qualifying rounds. Nevertheless, at the end of the season it was not enough to stay on the Main Tour. However, he was able to qualify immediately for the 2012/13 and 2013/14 seasons as the winner of his group at the second Q School tournament in 2012 .

The biggest success in the first year after this Main Tour return was reaching the final qualifying round at the International Championship . At the China Open he was among the last 64. In addition to three further first round wins at the PTC tournaments, he took part in the round of 16 in Antwerp . With 75th place in the world rankings, he created a good starting position for the second year and with reaching the main round at the Australian Open he also started the season well. At the Indian Open he was also in the first round in New Delhi and at the German Masters he even reached round two after defeating Marco Fu , as they were the lowest rated tournaments in the Main Tour calendar and otherwise hardly countable Success came out, he hardly moved during the season and did not make it into the top 64, which would have meant staying on the tour.

The immediate re-qualification via the Q School failed, so that in the 2014/15 season he was only able to take part in some qualifications as an amateur by invitation, but where he lost each time in round one. At the Riga Open he achieved his best PTC result of this season with the round of 32. At the end of the season he managed to qualify for the Main Tour for two years again at the second Q School tournament with victories over ex-professionals Adam Duffy and Hammad Miah .

In the first year he won four opening wins, including the World Cup against Yu Delu , which brought him back into the top 80 in the adjusted world rankings at the beginning of the second season. He achieved greater success at the Shanghai Masters , where he narrowly missed entry into the main tournament with three wins in qualifying.
