World No.1 falls at first hurdle to Welshman Jones
Unheralded Jamie Jones claimed the biggest win of his career to eliminate John Higgins from the Betfair PTC Grand Finals.
The 24-year-old Neath potter was 3-1 down to Higgins in Galway but turned the match around to triumph 4-3 and send the reigning world champion home after just one match.
Higgins took a tight opening frame and added breaks of 123 and 67 as he moved to just one frame away from victory, but Jones dug deep to draw level.
He then took full advantage of a poor safety from Higgins early in the deciding frame, when the Scot left him an easy red, and stayed composed to build a match-clinching break.
