Career

There he caused an upset by defeating former world champion Graeme Dott 4–2 in qualifying and went on to beat his famous compatriot James Wattana 4–3 at the venue, before being whitewashed in the last 32 match by Mike Dunn.[3] He finished his debut season ranked world number 111.[4]
Yotharuck lost nine of his ten matches during the 2014–15 season and has not played in an event since December 2014.[5] He lost his place on the tour at the end of the season as he was the world number 110.[6]
