Rod Lawler says he has no specific targets in new snooker season – Snooker Update
England’s Rod Lawler started his new snooker season with impressive performance in the 2012 Wuxi Classic snooker tournament and hit the second stage where he lost to the former World Snooker Championship winner, Graeme Dott by 5-4.
However, he has a lot to come in the new snooker season as he will be heading for the 2012 World Snooker European Tour.
As far as his aims for the new snooker seasons are concerned, the Englishman has no targets. In a recent interview with Pro Snooker Blog, the English potter clearly said that he does not set his targets or goals for the new snooker season.
He said, “I have never been one to set targets and try to work to them. I don’t know whether that is a good thing or not but I have never wanted to disappoint myself when I haven’t got to the target, so no I don’t really have any targets. I just want to
continue to play the way I know I can play which I have been doing recently.”
He added, “If I can continue to do that, I know that my ranking at the moment is a false ranking because the PTCs over the last two years, with the lack of matches I won and the quality of the first round matches that I had to play, were the reason that
I fell off the main tour.”
Previous snooker season was not a convincing finish for the English potter as he was unable to play in any major ranking snooker event and crashed out of the qualifying sessions of most events. Even in the minor ranking and non ranking snooker tournaments,
he was unable to perform up to the mark and failed to claim any of them either.
Despite his poor performance in the 2011-12 Snooker Season, Lawler was not disheartened at all and tried his luck in the 2012 World Snooker Qualifying School (Q School) in order to earn a place in the professional circuit of next two seasons. He could not
win it in the first two events but the third event of Q School proved lucky for him and he was able to grab the two-year pro tour ticket after beating Ireland’s Joe Delaney by the score line of 4-0.
