Judd Trump claims that he actively was not trying to make 100 centuries this season to win £100,000, that it just came naturally.

Trump claimed his 99th and 100th centuries during yesterday’s tie with Shaun Murphy, bagging a very handy cash bonus to add to his earnings at the Crucible.

“I think the opposite, I didn’t target it,” Trump said. “It just so happened that in the Championship League, the pockets were playing very large. I went in the fourth or fifth group, so if I was really trying, I would have gone in the first group

“As I said, I didn’t target it at all, I didn’t even think it was a possibility. I didn’t even want to be in contention but after the Championship League, I didn’t expect the pockets to be so big, and the centuries were flying in for everyone. If I had known that I would have been playing in the first group.”
