Steve Davis 10-4 in the first round of the 1992 World

In 2002 he managed to win the World Championship after beating
Stephen Hendry 18-17 in the final.
His eight ranking titles so far are the 1993 Grand Prix, the

the 1996 Regal Masters.
He was only the second person to have made two maximums in professional tournament play.
Peter became the first to make four century breaks in five frames, in the
European Open qualifying competition at Blackpool on 6 Sep 1992.
He is one of only nine players who have won both the World and UK Championships.
