of the World Championship for the first time since 2010, losing 7–10 to Crucible debutant Jackson Page. Technique Hawkins is naturally right-handed but plays left-handed. However, if he has to use the rest, he switches the cue to his dominant hand (right hand) for better handling. Additionally, this switch allows him to aim better because his right eye is his objective eye. Personal life Hawkins has been with his partner Tara since 2001; in January 2009 they had their first child, a son named Harrison. The couple were married in June 2012.
