Pang Junxu was able to win the Rookie of the Year Award by virtue of reaching the top 16 of three ranking tournaments in his "rookie" season, especially the top 16 of the British Championship, one of the three major snooker events, which prepared him for Attention. In addition, in the second round of Welsh Open , he eliminated his idol "China's No. 1 Brother" Ding Junhui 4-2.

At this point, Pang Junxu became the third Chinese player to be elected as the best rookie since 2017. In 2017, Yan Bingtao, who was only 17 years old at the time, won the World Taiwan Federation's Best Newcomer of the Year Award.

That season, 17-year-old Yan Bingtao played extremely domineeringly. He reached the top 16 of seven ranking tournaments, and the year-end world ranking was locked at 56th. In addition, he also won three qualifying rounds and advanced to the main round of the World Championship for the first time in his career, and became the first "post-2000" player in the history of World Championship . Last season, he won the Masters Championship, one of the three major snooker events.

The Best Newcomer of the Year in 2020 was awarded to Yan Bingtao for the second time. In this special season, Yan Bingtao performed extremely well. He reached the top four of the ranking tournament twice, and even reached the Players Championship finals, which only the top 16 players in a single season can participate.

In 2018, Xu Si also won the Best Newcomer of the Year Award. He once defeated three-time World Championship champion "Golden Left Hand" Mark Williams 6-5 in his rookie season, and also reached the top 24 of the India Open. However, a few years later, Xu Si's performance was not as good as people expected. After this season, he ranked 77th at the end of the year, which was very average.

There is no doubt that Pang Junxu's "rookie" season was good enough. I hope he can continue to improve himself and perform better in the future to catch up with Yan Bingtao. Of course, it seems too difficult to become the next Ding Junhui!
