Final

Nigel Bond (England) def. John Higgins (Scotland) 9-8

71-56, 96-4 (61), 65-64, 53-64 (Higgins 56), 79-47 (79), 18-72, 
17-102, 0-91 (91), 89-0 (89), 30-60, 99-30, 55-56, 72-0, 0-97, 
122-6 (122), 8-128 (75), 71-69

Finally Nigel Bond won a major ranking title. In his fourth try he succeeded. and what a way to do it! He clinched it on the very last black after needing a snooker. Too bad that John Higgins lost his title, but he's been winning so many lately, so I guess he can spare one for Nigel. Bond won �60,000 for the victory and Higgins got �32,000.

This result means Stephen Hendry can still enjoy the view from the very top of the provisional rankings. He will have to watch out for John Higgins though. Now there's only 870 points in it. Will we see a new No.1 next year? Tune in to the World Championship to find out!
