An unusual action by Simon Whitlock Friday night in his match against Damon Heta at the UK Open. At a score of 9-8 in Heta's favour, 'The Wizard' had the match briefly paused.
The 54-year-old Australian desperately needed to go to the restroom and asked referee Huw Ware if he could quickly pop to the toilet. Whitlock was granted that permission.
A moment later Whitlock entered the stage, after which the crowd hilariously cerenaded him with chants of "Simon Whitlock, he shits when he wants". By the way, the match was over shortly thereafter. Heta won the match 10-8.
