LONDON - Ronnie O'Sullivan recorded the fastest win in Crucible history as he completed a 10-1 demolition of Thepchaiya Un-Nooh in less than two hours in the first round of the World Championship on Monday .

And the 44-year-old returned to quickly wrap up the two frames needed for victory and shatter the current Crucible record of 149 minutes that Shaun Murphy took to whitewash China's Luo Honghao last year. O'Sullivan stepped in with a clearance of 93 - his eighth break of over 50 in the match - to move within one frame of the second round.

While the official match time was yet to be confirmed, it was clear O'Sullivan had smashed the previous record time for a Crucible win and become the first man to win a world championship tie in under two hours.
