Stephen Hendry lost 4-0 to Allan Taylor in the qualifying round for the Scottish Open, an event which has his name on the trophy.

Hendry overcame Michael White 4-1 in qualifying for the English Open last week, but could not emulate that feat against world number 75 Taylor.

Having already reached the last 64 of next month's Northern Ireland Open (9-17 October LIVE on Eurosport), Taylor took only 55 minutes to dismiss Hendry with breaks of 60, 59 and 71.
