'A dream come true' – Lee Walker hits back to deny Jimmy White in World Seniors final
Jimmy 'Whirlwind' White must wait another year to claim a fourth World Seniors snooker title after losing 5-4 to Lee Walker in a tense final on Sunday night. The six-time Crucible runner-up opened with a break of 64 to lead 1-0 in Sheffield before scrapping his way to a 4-2 advantage despite toiling to emulate his heavy scoring form that saw him reach the showpiece match earlier in the day. Ad/> After rolling in breaks of 138, 74, 71 and 53 in a 4-1 win against Rory McLeod on Saturday, White also made a 62 to go with his 132 in a semi-final whitewash of UK Seniors holder Peter Lines, who had dumped 1995 world finalist Nigel Bond 4-1 to progress to the last four.
