The 2000 Scottish Open (officially the 2000 Regal Scottish Open) was a professional ranking snooker tournament, that was held from March to April 2000 at the AECC, Aberdeen, Scotland.[1] Stephen Hendry, was the defending champion but he lost 2–5 in the last 16 to Matthew Stevens.[2]
Ronnie O'Sullivan won the tournament by defeating Mark Williams nine frames to one in the final. O'Sullivan made a 147 maximum break in frame four of his 5–4 victory over Quinten Hann in the last 32. Stephen Maguire had also made a 147 in the qualifying stages (not televised) so this marked the first time that two maximum breaks had been made in the same ranking tournament.[3]
