The 18-year-old is into the third round of the Northern Ireland Open

Victories over the likes of Zhang Anda, Ryan Day and Tom Ford have caught the eye of avid snooker fans.

And on Wednesday he made light work of world championship runner-up Jak Jones with a 4-0 win at the Northern Ireland Open.

It moves him into the third round where he will face Wilson – who beat Jones in the world championship final at the Crucible back in April.

Speaking to the World Snooker Tour, Moody said: “I’m just playing what I think is the right shot at the right time.

“Maybe last season i lost a few matches for going for one too many and at this level it costs you.

“Reigning it in a bit but also keeping my natural attacking side going.”

Moody also opened up about how he has changed his lifestyle to improve his game.

He added: “I’ve changed my diet completely, bit of fitness now and again. I feel a lot better for it.

“That’s one of the big reasons why I’m doing well.”

If Moody pulls it off he will move into the fourth round of a ranking event for the first time in his career.

He would then face three-time world champion Mark Williams or Ma Hailong in the quarter-finals.
