Stephen Hendry: 147 maximum break prize in snooker should be bigger - ‘What about a car or a beautiful watch?’
Stephen Hendry believes the prize for a 147 should be bigger because it’s “the most perfect thing you can do in snooker”. At its peak, a 147 maximum break was worth £147,000 at the World Championship in the 1990s, which Ronnie O’Sullivan and Hendry both earned. Ad The first official 147 was made by Steve Davis at the 1982 Lada Classic and he won a Lada car.
