Rocket wins fourth UK Championship

8
Vote

by Alex Holowczak

After impressing in the week, he found himself in a tough Semi Final against Mark Selby, runner-up in the World Championship in May. He trailed 3-0, 4-1, 5-3, 7-5 and led 8-7, but after six hours play spread out over the course of the day, the match was locked at 8-8.

And then, this happened:


With that, he advanced to the Final, where he played Stephen Maguire, who had easily progressed from his Semi Final. The Rocket stormed into an 8-0 lead, and eventually won 10-2, to win his first ranking event for more than two years, and head back to the top of the provisional World Rankings. He won £100,000 ($210,000) for his week's work.

Here's what Ronnie had to say about it. He is interviewed by 6 times World Champion and present World Number 15, the 50 year old Steve Davis.

That 147 in decider showed the Essex boy's true class. If he could just keep his interest on snooker he could be the best of all time.

Indeed. He is currently 3/1F to win his third World Championship title in May, and is currently leading the provisional World Rankings for this season. Murphy and Maguire will be his main challengers. I don't think he'll ever beat the "modern" record of 7 by Hendry, or the record of 15 by Joe Davis. But 4 World Titles in this era would be a fair reflection of his talent, I think.
