White seals final place

Jimmy White roared into his first major final in four years with a thrilling 6-4 victory over local hero Tony Drago at the European Open in Malta tonight.

White looked set to coast through to a best-of-17-frames showdown with Glasgow’s Stephen Maguire when he built a 5-1 lead before Drago, the Maltese number one, fired back into contention to trail only 5-4.
