O'Sullivan Makes History as Oldest UK Snooker Champion

Secures Record-Extending Eighth UK Championship Title with 10-7 Victory Over Ding Junhui

Ronnie O'Sullivan becomes the oldest UK snooker champion, securing a 10-7 victory over China's Ding Junhui.
O'Sullivan, turning 48 on Tuesday, claims a record-extending eighth UK Championship title.
O'Sullivan was the youngest player to win the UK Championship in 1993 at 17, marking a full circle in his career.
Ding Junhui, who won his first UK title as a teenager in 2005, put up a strong fight but ultimately faced a second consecutive final defeat.
O'Sullivan adds the 40th ranking title to his remarkable trophy collection.
