Steven Hallworth (born December 1, 1995 in Skellingthorpe , Lincolnshire ) is an English snooker player .

Career

Steven Hallworth was introduced to the cue as a five-year-old and had some successes as a teenager. Among other things, he was in the final round of a youth tournament sponsored by Ronnie O'Sullivan ( Riley's Future Stars ) and won a match against Mark Selby as a regional U-17 champion .

He approached professional snooker for the first time through his participation in the Players Tour Championship, which is open to amateurs . At the first tournament of the 2011/12 season in Sheffield he was eliminated without a frame gain. In the following year he won the first qualifying match in two tournaments. He then tried to qualify for the professional tour via the Q School in May 2013 , but did not get very far.

At the Paul Hunter Classic 2013 he qualified for the main tournament for the first time and also at the Antwerp Open 2013 he was among the last 128. In the amateur cup taking place at the same time, he also qualified for the play-offs of the EBSA Qualifying Tour . With victories over Martin Ball and Mitchell Travis, he secured participation in the professional main tour in the following two seasons.

He had to play his first professional game in the 2014/15 season against world number three Neil Robertson , but in the second game against Zak Surety in qualifying for the Australian Goldfields Open , he celebrated his first win against a professional player. Two more wins at the Shanghai Masters followed, but it was not enough to qualify for the main tournament. After that, he only won one PTC match that season.

In the second year he qualified for the main tournament for the first time at the German Masters . However, he had to compete against world number one Mark Selby in the round of 32 in Berlin and had no chance. Since he usually only got two wins in smaller tournaments during the season, he never got past 91st place in the world rankings and lost his professional status again.

Hallworth attempted immediate re-qualification through the Q School and reached his group final at the second tournament , but lost it to Craig Steadman . After all, he was allowed to take part in qualifying rounds with free places as a replacement. At the Indian Open 2016 he took his chance and after winning the qualification for the second time, this time as an amateur, he entered a tournament, where he lost just 3: 4 to world number two Stuart Bingham .

In the 2016/17 season he reached the quarter-finals of the snooker shoot-out 2017 , where he lost to Andy Hicks .
