Cao Yupeng hit a maximum break as he eased into the second round of the Scottish Open.

China's Cao Yupeng made the first maximum break of his career at the Scottish Open in Glasgow on Tuesday.


Cao, 27, scored 147 points in the third frame of his clash with Andrew Higginson and took a 3-0 lead. It leaves the world number 67 in line for a potential payout of 20,000 pounds from the rolling 147 prize and an additional 2,000 pounds for the high break this week.


The magic run sees Cao become only the third player from mainland China to make a 147 and it's the 134th official maximum break in professional competition.


He went on to beat the 40-year-old Englishman 4-0 to reach the second round.
