Ken Doherty (a) |
 |
 Doherty trailed 2-10.
Having won the UK Championship and the Masters earlier in the season, Williams held all three Triple Crown titles simultaneously (the third player after Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry).
The win allowed him to become world #1 again, the only player to regain the position so far (beside Ray Reardon).
With three of his matches going to a deciding frame, Doherty played 132 frames in the tournament, a record for the modern era. |
