He turned professional in 1979[1] and reached the quarter-final of the 1980 World Snooker Championship in his debut year,[2] and reached the world championship quarter-final stage again in 1992.[3] Wych also reached the quarter-finals of two other ranking tournaments, the 1986 British Open and the 1989 European Open.
