Kyren Wilson has claimed his first ever World Snooker Championship with victory over Jak Jones at the Crucible.
Jones had been aiming to become the first qualifier to win the trophy since Shaun Murphy in 2005, but was constantly trailing and couldn't claw back his opponent, despite a stirring effort in the last session from Jones, as the world No 12 basked in the glory of the greatest success of his career as he was made to sweat in the final frames before releasing a fist pump when he made the telling pot.
He added on his opponent: "He was so tough, I don't know if anyone is left in Wales the way they cheered for him. This is Jak's first final, let alone a world final, and he's conduct himself so well and I'm sure he'll be back." Jones' slow play had copped criticism from those he beat, but the Welshman made light of what he called excuses from his opponents as he came within one game of a legendary triumph.
