Highest Tournament Break 147 Bahrain Championship 2008

Campbell enjoyed some excellent performances during the 2009/10 season and moved five places up the ranking list to No 40.

He reached the last 32 of four of the six ranking tournaments: the Roewe Shanghai Masters, Grand Prix, totesport.com Welsh Open and, most significantly, the Betfred.com World Snooker Championship.

After beating James Wattana 10-5, Campbell edged out former UK and Masters champion Matthew Stevens 10-9 in the final qualifying round to book his place at the Crucible.

"I've been putting a lot of work in and playing with John Higgins, Stephen Maguire and Graeme Dott. If you have got any ability, it will come out. I'm probably a better player now than I've ever been," said Campbell, who then lost 10-5  to Mark Williams at Sheffield.

At the 2008 Bahrain Championship, Campbell registered the first official 147 break made in the Middle East with a superb maximum on the first day.

His first 147 in a ranking event came in frame four en route to a 5-0 victory over Ahmed Basheer Al-Khusaibi.

"I’m chuffed, I can’t believe it. The reds were perfect from the start although I had a massive kick on 73. I didn’t land on anything but took a chance and managed to pot the black and move the three reds that were left," said a delighted Campbell.

He played Neil Robertson in the next round and found himself 4-1 down. Despite pulling it back to 4-4 he couldn’t get over the line and Robertson not only took the match but went on to claim the title.

The Dumbarton player is best known for beating countryman Stephen Hendry twice in the space of nine months to notch up his best two results as a professional.
First he upset Hendry 5-3 in the last 16 of the 1998 Scottish Open at Aberdeen before losing 5-1 to Ronnie O’Sullivan in the quarter-finals.

Campbell then produced one of the most shocking scorelines in snooker history at the 1998 UK Championship by whitewashing Hendry 9-0 in the last 64. The seven-time world champion has since described the result as the lowest point of his career.
