Lasse Münstermann (born 6 April 1979) is a German retired snooker player and pundit.[1] He began playing at the age of 11, and in 1994 he played in his first World Amateur Championship in Johannesburg, South Africa. For a year he trained in England at the Rushden Snooker Academy, where prominent snooker players like Peter Ebdon, James Wattana and Ding Junhui studied.
Career[edit]
Münstermann is the winner of several German Championships (Team: 1995 and 2005; double: 1994 and 1997; Single: 2003, 2004 and 2006; U21: 2000).[2] His success in the European tour gave him a place on the main tour and 2001 World Snooker Championship in the 2000–01 season, but it was short-lived. At the 2005 World Games he reached the quarter-finals. For Germany, he was part of a team with Sascha Lippe and Itaro Santos which won the European Team Snooker Championship in Ghent, Belgium, in early 2007. He qualified for the Players Tour Championship 2010/2011, which was held in Germany. He has also contributed to PAT (Playing Ability Test) Snooker along with Thomas Hein, Thomas Moser and Frank Schröder.[3]
