BREAKING UK Masters delayed as snooker star Shaun Murphy ordered ‘do not do something’
Shaun Murphy was attacked by a wasp for the second time this week, this time during the UK Masters final prompting a delay.
At the beginning of the UK Masters final between Murphy and Kyren Wilson, the former spotted the wasp flying around the table – the second time this week he had done so.
Just as he was about to step up to take the opening shot of the match, Murphy pointed out the wasp to the referee. However, it then caught his gaze again, leading to the delay of the final.
He ducked trying to shake off the wasp, moving back to his corner before spotting it behind him, prompting Murphy into another escape effort. However, the referee could be heard instructing Murphy, telling him: “Don’t do anything.”
And the lack of movement seemed to do the trick, with the wasp moving away from Murphy and the table, allowing him to finally get the match underway.
