Robertson reveals new accolade after English Open exit

CAMBRIDGE resident Neil Robertson was unable to retain his English Open crown this week, falling victim to a 'boomerang shot' by Jackson Page in the fourth round on Wednesday, but the Australia-born player revealed he has recently picked up another prestigious award.

The Thunder from Down Under is a three-time UK Championship winner and even tasted glory at the Crucible in 2010. He's been a consistent winner ever since, most recently triumphing at the World Grand Prix earlier this year.

It's no surprise that Robertson has been heralded back in his home country of Australia, with the snooker icon even receiving an award for his services to the sport. Robertson was given the illustrious Order of Australia award at the turn of the year and was permitted to change his name to include the initials OAM.
