China's Ding Junhui reaches second round at Welsh Open
Ding Junhui of China plays a shot during the first round of the Welsh Open in Cardiff, England, Feb 15, 2016. LONDON - China's Ding Junhui eased into the second round of the Welsh Open in Cardiff with a 4-1 win over 20-year-old Steven Hallworth on Monday. Ding, who won the tournament in 2012, will next face 46-year-old Joe Swail in the round of 64 on Tuesday. O'Sullivan reached the second round by beating Barry Pinches 4-1, though he turned down the chance of a 147 in the final frame, citing the prize money of 10,000 pounds was too little.
