'Twelve months ago I wasn't even here': Mark Williams wins World Championship

Mark Williams has won the Betfred World Championship, beating John Higgins 18-16 in the final in Sheffield.

Mark Williams withstood an incredible fightback from John Higgins to land his third World Championship title and become the oldest winner at the Crucible for 40 years.

The Welshman triumphed 18-16 and it was a wonder that the 43-year-old held himself together in the closing stages after a series of huge stumbles as he approached the finish line.
