"At least I can go back home and spend as much time as possible with my daughter," Selby said, after a surprising 6-4 second-round defeat to the 26-year-old from Kilkenny. Selby's first experience of fatherhood will have made his preparations for the York Bar- bican Centre tournament like no other he has known, and that may have been a mitigating factor in his flat performance. Victory gave world number 62 Morris the big- gest scalp of his career. Morris said: "I'm delighted to win and to beat someone of Mark's class is a big feather in my cap. "I had a few good wins last year but I don't think any of them compare to that one because it's such a big event." Morris now heads into the third round, where David Gilbert awaits him. Selby reached the UK final in each of the last two years, winning the 2012 title before finish- ing runner-up to Neil Robertson 12 months ago. He will concede top ranking to Robertson or Ding Junhui, and was not altogether surprised by the performance from his opponent. "I've known him for a few years and I know he dropped off the tour and thought about stop- ping playing, but I know the potential he has got he should be doing a lot better than he is at the moment. He showed what a good player he is out there," Selby said on the official World Snooker website. China's Ding avoided going the same way as the Leicester potter, fending off crowd favour- ite Jimmy White in winning 6-2. Three-time UK champion John Higgins joined Ding in the last 32 as the Scot beat Stoke's Jamie Cope. Higgins has fallen into a trough of frustrating form in recent seasons, but breaks of 80, 97 and 69, twice, in a 6-4 win showed some of the old magic lingers in the Wishaw man's cue. Glaswegian world number 84 Fraser Patrick had a break of 139 in a decent 6-4 win over Welshman Ryan Day and Hong Kong's Marco Fu made three centuries in an impressive 6-1 victory over China's Lyu Haotian. Carmarthen's Matthew Stevens, who beat Stephen Hendry in the 2003 UK final, saw off Kent-based Northern Irishman Gerard Greene 6-3. Greene had a 139 break in the opening frame, which means he and Patrick are early pace-setters in the battle for the tournament's £10,000 top-break prize. Judd Trump benefitted from a first-round walkover on Tuesday when Chinese opponent Rouzi Maimaiti had visa problems, and the Bristolian was largely untroubled on Satur- day in what became his opening match as he brushed aside Indian Aditya Mehta. The 2011 UK champion won through to the third round by beating Mehta 6-1, highlighted by a century in the fifth frame. Meanwhile, two-time former champion Mark Williams beat Jimmy Robertson 6-0 Mark Selby
