Judd Trump produces €592k clearance to sneak Saudi Arabia Masters from Mark Williams
Judd Trump produced a nerveless clearance in the deciding frame to beat Mark Williams 10-9 and win the inaugural Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters.
Williams looked set to claim the £500,000 (€592,000) first prize in Riyadh, only to miss a mid-range red on a break of 62 in the decider, allowing Trump to step in with a brilliant 72.
Trump, who was checking flights home at 4-0 down to Wu Yize in his first match of the tournament but has now won 15 of the 16 he has played this season, told Eurosport: "I'm in shock.
"I struggled, Mark was much the better player. He was making breaks although the table was playing tricky. I don’t deserve to win.
"It’s not going to mean anything to him, but he was the better player – I just found something at the end.
"This is so special to win. I stopped breathing for the last five minutes of that frame but I managed to get over the line."
