Trump capitalises on Friday night as Gould misses final black

"They've got a tough game on their hands so hopefully they'll tire each other out," Trump said.
Trump admitted his recent success has been bewildering but believes he can go on to win the world title on 2 May. "I always knew if I brought a decent game with me I could go out and win it, and I still feel that," he said. "I'm definitely super-confident. I feel like I've got the game to go out and win it.
"I'm on such a high, I've got used to winning whereas I was used to losing before.
"The last month has exceeded my wildest expectations. I have to bring myself back to reality sometimes. I've only won two games, so it's nothing that special. I've still got a long way to go. There's a lot of tough players out there to beat."
Gould agreed that the world number 11 had the capabilities to lift the trophy and said: "If he scores like he has been and keeps potting the long ones like he does, then who knows, his name could be on the title.
"We've all known Judd for many a year, and we all know what he can do."
