Bio

After qualifying for the 2012 World Championship in his debut season, Cao beat Mark Allen to reach the last 16 on what remains his only Crucible appearance so far. He came very close to being an unexpected winner of the Scottish Open in 2017, but lost the last five frames of the final to go down to Neil Robertson in a decider. Cao put that disappointment behind him to reach another ranking final later that season at the Gibraltar Open, and was also runner-up at the Shoot Out in 2023.
