Highest Tournament Break 147 Bahrain Championship 2008

Campbell reached at least the last 48 at five of the first six ranking events last season but still dropped three places in the rankings.
His best performance came at the Bahrain Snooker Championship where he also 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.
Campbell enjoyed one of his best runs in recent years by reaching the last 16 of the 2007 Grand Prix.
He made it through one round robin phase to qualify for the venue and another at Aberdeen, beating the likes of Graeme Dott and Anthony Hamilton. But he was denied a place in the quarter-finals by Joe Swail.
Campbell also got to the last 32 of the Welsh Open and Bank of Beijing World Snooker China Open and finished the 2007/08 campaign with a jump of ten places in the rankings to No 42.
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.
