O’Sullivan Draws Parallels Between Wilson and Scheffler

Ronnie O’Sullivan believes that Kyren Wilson has the right “mentality” needed for sustained success, likening him to elite golfer Scottie Scheffler.

Later this evening, Wilson will face off against Michael Holt in the quarter-finals of the UK Snooker Championships.

As a seven-time Crucible champion, O’Sullivan is impressed with Wilson’s capacity to handle pressure, especially following his initial world title win this year.

In remarks made to Eurosport, The Rocket stated: “It really relies on the individual; for some, the weight of expectation may prove too much, hindering their careers.

“On the other hand, those with inherent talent and experience often rise to the occasion and attain notable triumphs.”

“Kyren surely fits that description and is on the brink of securing many more prestigious titles.”

O’Sullivan further remarked: “He reminds me of golfer Scottie Scheffler.

“While numerous players can drive the ball effectively and showcase various skills, Wilson stands out in every facet of the game, positioning him as a formidable adversary when he’s at his peak.”
