Ronnie O'Sullivan grabs sixth title

By Daily Sports on December 11, 2017

Ronnie O'Sullivan equalled Steve Davis' haul of six UK Championship titles by beating Shaun Murphy 10-5 in a high-quality final in York.

O'Sullivan also drew level with Stephen Hendry's 18 'Triple Crown' titles of the World, UK and Masters events.

The pair shared the first eight frames, each knocking in a century apiece, but O'Sullivan seized control with four breaks over 50 and two further tons.

He won five frames in a row to clinch the £170,000 top prize.

Victory means O'Sullivan now has 31 ranking titles, just five behind Hendry's all-time record.

"The records are great," said O'Sullivan. "I tried my best all week and there's nothing left. I'm over the moon to win any tournament, let alone the UK Championship.

"I just love playing and love competing and I can't believe I'm still playing at 42, with all these grey hairs," he said.
