Congratulations Liang!! A nice winner showing emotions....so refreshing!!
class interview by Judd by the way.

And the winner is Ronnie O'Sullivan... Coaching / mentoring Liang must be worth at least 10% of the winners cheque.

Snooker is on the up!!!! :snooker:

Some really nice breaks for Liang, not least the one to win it. I enjoyed that.

Well done Liang, rode his luck a little today but thoroughly deserved to win his first major title.

I feel a little smug because I felt after his first match that he was looking very good and likely to win a big title soon. I really think and believe he will be even better from now on and practicing with Ronnie and the advice he has given him has moved him up a level. A definite contender now for any tournament he plays in and who knows, maybe he'll be the first Chinese player to lift the world championship! Ding who.

I'm very happy for him to win. Congrats Liang!

Congrats to Liang, a well deserved win, Judd just couldn't get going really, apart from that superb 132 in frame 9, he struggled to get past the 50 mark. It was great to see Liang lift the trophy, he's a real character isn't he.

Did you put a few schekles on him?

I'm soooo glad Liang didnt miss those final balls after celebrating before potting them

[jonny66]

I think he was more trying to let out some nervous energy than celebrating, best to let it out between shots than on the shot. I could be wrong though.
