IAN McCulloch was dumped out of the Snooker Grand Prix by teenage hot-shot Mark Selby yesterday.
The Preston cueman lost a nine-frame thriller 5-4 as 16-year-old English junior champion Selby sprung one of the biggest shocks of the tournament so far. McCulloch, ranked 39th in the world, had had high hopes of kick-starting his season infront of his home fans at Preston's Guild Hall.
But his miserable run continued following his recent last 64 defeats in the British Open and the China International.
Preston's Stuart Pettman also crashed 5-3 to Scotland's Ewan Henderson.
