Doherty’s search for ‘holy grail’ ends in Greene whitewash

KEN DOHERTY’S search for his “holy grail” ended in customary failure at the Fáilte Irish Masters in Dublin yesterday.

But even by his own disappointing standard in his home tournament, Doherty’s 5-0 second-round defeat by Gerard Greene is his lowest point.

And now the 1997 world champion’s place in the top 16 for next season is in serious jeopardy.
