Why British Open snooker is going to look different as Mark Williams defends title
Mark Williams will chase a hat-trick of British Open titles in September, but the event will be altered to a more traditional format after making its triumphant return to the snooker calendar after a 17-year absence last season. The Welshman became a double British Open champion and first winner of the tournament since John Higgins in 2004 when he completed a 6-4 victory over Gary Wilson at the Morningside Arena in Leicester.
