LONDON: Shaun Murphy defeated world snooker champion Kyren Wilson 10-7 to claim a second Masters title after a thrilling final on Sunday. Wilson had fought back from a four-frame deficit to trail 8-7 in the best-of-19 frame showpiece before Murphy triumphed.
“When I lost to Mark Selby in 2021 (in the world championship final), I thought my days in the business end of these events had gone,” world number seven Murphy told the BBC. “I must pay tribute to Kyren - he is a great world champion. He really took it to me and there was a stage a few frames ago when it was panic stations.”
The 42-year-old Murphy won his first Masters in 2015, 10 years after his maiden world title. He had been in great form all week at the Alexandra Palace venue in London, hitting only the sixth maximum break of 147 in tournament history in his semi-final win over Mark Allen.
