Ratchayothin Yotharuck (Thai: รัชโยธิน โยธารักษ์, born 13 December 1995) is a Thai professional snooker player. Yotharuck has been playing snooker since he was 10 years old and represented Thailand in several international events together with Boonrayit Kiatkul and Noppon Saengkham.[3] In 2013 he received a two-year wildcard for the Main Tour as an Asian Confederation of Billiard Sports nomination, after Asian champion Saleh Mohammad declined his place.

Career

Having missed the first few events of the 2013/2014 season, Yotharuck made his debut at the Rotterdam Open, where he lost 4–1 to Mitchell Travis in pre-qualifying. Yotharuck would lose all three of his first round matches in the ranking events, with the exception coming at the Indian Open. There he caused an upset by defeating former world champion Graeme Dott 4–2 in qualifying and went on to beat his famous compatriot James Wattana 4–3 at the venue, before being whitewashed in the last 32 match by Mike Dunn.[4] He finished his debut season ranked world number 111.[5]
