Jan. 28 (UPI) — A toddler pool prodigy in England has already broken two Guinness World Records for playing pool and snooker before his third birthday.
Jude Owens broke the record for the youngest person to make a snooker double pot at the age of 2 years and 261 days old.
“A double pot in snooker is when two balls are legally potted with a single strike of the cue ball, into different pockets,” Guinness World Records explained in a news release.
Owens followed up the feat by breaking the record for youngest person to make a pool bank shot at the age of 2 years and 302 days old.
“A bank shot in pool is when the cue ball is struck to hit the object ball off one or more rails before it enters a pocket,” GWR said.
The boy’s father, Luke Owens, said he knew Jude would excel at the sport from the first time he picked up a cue.
“Jude has achieved quite a lot in such a short space of time, but to have two world records, it’s probably a pinnacle moment — how do you even beat that?” the father told Guinness World Records. “Do I think he’ll be a world champion one day? As a father, you always hope your kids do well in life, so that would be the biggest aspiration if he was to achieve that.”
