Shaun Murphy hits back after sweary heckle at World Snooker Championship

• Player lost concentration after spectator’s criticism

• Trump edges in front of Wilson after early reverses

Shaun Murphy has criticised an audience member who berated one of his shots during the opening session of his first-round match against Fan Zhengyi at the World Snooker Championship in Sheffield.

Murphy said he lost concentration after a spectator in the front row muttered “shit shot” during a gruelling battle which the former champion edged 5-4, going into Tuesday evening’s conclusion.
