Snooker player Ronnie O�Sullivan left fans gob smacked yesterday when he walked out on the quarter finals of the Maplin UK Championship.
Ronnie was competing against Stephen Hendry; he was halfway through the game when after missing a shot he gave up, telling a shocked Hendry: �I�ve had enough.�
Hendry said later: �It�s bizarre. I can�t criticize Ronnie because I don�t know what his thoughts or reasons are.
�He�d just won his first frame and was among the balls on the table. He went for a dodgy red, missed it, then came up and shook my hand and said, �I�ve had enough.�2
�He came into my dressing room afterwards. I said, �Is anything wrong?� He said, �No, I�m just fed up and have had enough.��
Ronnie himself said in a statement: �I wish I could have played a better game, but I had a bad day in the office. I am a perfectionist and got so annoyed with myself that I lost my patience and walked away from a game I should have continued.
�I wish I could have given Stephen a better game, and I�m sorry I didn�t stick around to sharpen him up for his semi-final. I�m also really sorry to let down the fans.
�I am feeling disappointed with myself and hurt and numb, but I am a fighter and I will be back on my feet fighting stronger and harder than ever very soon.�
