Bingham claims maiden title

Stuart Bingham won the first ranking tournament of his career after staging a superb comeback to stun Mark Williams in a thrilling final of the Australian Goldfields Open.

Bingham’s bid for a maiden triumph looked to have been sunk as world number one Williams battled back from 3-1 down to lead 8-5 in the best-of-17 final at the Bendigo Stadium in Victoria.
