Team Europe began Thursday’s action trailing 7-2 as they attempted to claw their way back into the Reyes Cup.

And fans in the arena in Manila were treated to a sensational few hours which featured a remarkable FOUR golden breaks.

A golden break is when a player pots the nine-ball from the opening break, automatically winning the frame.

It is considered perfection in the game of nine-ball pool, like a 147 in snooker or a nine-dart finish in darts.

But they were not hard to come by on Thursday as four sensational breaks claimed frame victories – three for Europe and one for Asia.

Reacting to the feat, one fan said: “What a thrilling event!”

Another added: “That was brilliant.”

A third replied: “Amazing play.”

While a fourth joked: “Fluke mate.”

And a fifth said: “You cannot write this!”
