Shaun Murphy Blog – Reflections on a good week
Hi everyone and first of all, a big thanks to everyone for their support during the Masters. The messages I got here on the website, through your emails and tweets meant a lot to me. All in all, it was a fantastic week both on and off the table – the only thing that was more …..
Shaun Murphy Blog – Great mates – apart from tomorrow night!
MAINLY practice tonight as I prepare for tomorrow night’s quarter-final with Mark Selby. It’s a big match and will be difficult on a number of levels. For a start, he’s the World No.1, a two-time Masters winner and a great all-round player. But he’s also one of my best friends, which presents its own set more …..
Shaun Murphy Blog – Crondon win sets up Masters’ bid
IT’S The Masters next week and I can’t wait to get there after four good days at Crondon Park. It was very nice to win Group 2 yesterday and the Championship League has given me a great preparation for Ally Pally. I will certainly go there pleased with the state of my game, knowing that more …..
Shaun Murphy Blog – On my way to Crondon
Alright everyone, I’m down at the Championship League this week, which is kind of a unique experience here at Crondon Park Golf Club. On our tour some events are better attended than others, but this one does not allow spectators at all. I’ve got friends from down this way in Essex who want to come more …..

Shaun Murphy Blog – Practicing with Peter
I had a great day yesterday as Peter Ebdon came up to practise with me at the club. We go back a long, long way and I can recall my first ever experience of the Crucible Theatre was when I went to watch him play there in 1992. Peter and I lived in the same more …..
Gearing up for the quarters
“Day off after beating Rory McLeod yesterday in the last-16 stage but just been down at the tournament watching some snooker (Hendry-Selt). I’m really enjoying myself at the Australian Goldfields Open and trying my best. So far, it’s a combination that seems to be working. The scoreline from my match with Rory perhaps flattered me. more …..
Get Carter? Not this time!
Hi everyone, A 3-6 semi-final defeat against Ali Carter – not the result I was after. Always hurts to lose, especially as defending champion but Ali was the better player and fully deserved the victory. I congratulated him and wished him good luck in the final. I’ve had a great year as Wuxi champion and more …..
Through to the semi’s
Morning everyone – just touching base after my first match out here in Wuxi. Really pleased to win for the first time this season after not managing to do so at the opening PTC last month. Peter Ebdon is always a tough opponent and so I’m really happy to go through 5-1. I opened up more …..
Murphy on tour!
Me again! I’ve arrived in China after an epic 30-hour trek from near Manchester via Heathrow and Bangkok. This week it’s the Wuxi Classic, which is a tournament I won last year, so I’m hoping to put up a good defence of the title this week. I’m actually away from the UK for a few more …..
Missed cut – but an opportunity not to be missed
Hello folks. I’m just about recovered from my caddieing experiences in the Open Championship Final Qualifiers with golf pro Graham Neville at Prince’s, Kent.
