Patrick Replaced By Higginson

Fraser Patrick has withdrawn from the BetVictor Welsh Open and has been replaced by the next available player from the Q School top-up list, Andrew Higginson.

Patrick was due to play Neil Robertson at 1pm on the opening day of the tournament on Monday in Llandudno but Higginson will take his place, setting up a repeat of the 2007 Welsh Open final when Robertson came from 8-6 down to win 9-8.

The tournament at Venue Cymru runs from February 13-19. For the match schedule click here and for ticket details click here.
