Karachi: Pakistani snooker player Shahram Changezi “created history” in American Snooker by becoming the first cueist to chalk a maximum 147 break in the US.
This extraordinary feat was accomplished during a practice match leading up to the Embassy Open, where Changezi outclassed former Pakistani player Farhan Idrees with a flawless performance.
This remarkable achievement marks the first-ever recorded 147 break at any level in the US. Changezi cleared the table within 10 minutes.
Changezi is widely regarded as one of Pakistan’s finest snooker talents. He was a key member of the bronze medal-winning team at the 2010 Asian Games and has secured multiple medals for Pakistan in both the Asian and World Championships. His impressive career also includes a victory at the Texas Open Snooker Championship last year.
In the sport of snooker, a 147 break is the highest possible score in a single frame. To achieve this, a player must pot all 15 red balls, each to be followed by a black ball and then clear all six coloured balls in a single visit.
