Judd Trump wins his first snooker World Championship

Judd Trump has won the Betfred World Championship, beating John Higgins 18-9 in the final in Sheffield.

Judd Trump was crowned world snooker champion for the first time after wrapping up a record-breaking 18-9 victory over John Higgins at the Crucible.

Trump fired a record-equalling seven centuries and became the first player to earn one million pounds in a single season as he claimed emphatic revenge for his previous final loss to Higgins in 2011.
