Shaun Murphy Triumphs Over Kyren Wilson to Win Second Masters Title

Murphy secures a 10-7 victory after a dramatic final, marking his first Triple Crown win in a decade.

Shaun Murphy defeated reigning world champion Kyren Wilson 10-7 in the Masters final at Alexandra Palace to claim his second title, 10 years after his first win in 2015.
Murphy’s performance included four century breaks in the final and a historic 147 maximum break during his semi-final victory over Mark Allen.
Wilson mounted a strong comeback in the evening session, narrowing the score to 8-7, but Murphy regained his form to close out the match with a decisive century break.
Murphy credited his coach, former world champion Peter Ebdon, for helping him rediscover his confidence and self-belief after a decade-long drought in Triple Crown events.
The victory earned Murphy £365,000, his largest career payday, and reinforced his status as one of snooker’s top competitors in front of an expanded 2,200-strong crowd at the venue.
