O’Sullivan claims third world title
SHEFFIELD (England), May 6: Ronnie O’Sullivan clinched a third world snooker title on Monday with a resounding 18-8 win over Ali Carter in the final at The Crucible.
With Carter struggling to find his best form in his first appearance in a ranking final, O’Sullivan established an 11-5 lead at the close of play on Sunday.
He then moved to within two frames of victory at 16-8 at the end of the penultimate session.Carter provided little resistance as fellow Briton O’Sullivan took less than half an hour to win the first two frames of the evening to land the title.
Carter, who matched O’Sullivan’s maximum 147 break in the tournament, said: “I’m disappointed because I didn’t really play well. Hopefully I can go one better next time.”—Reuters
