Wilson Grinds Out Scrappy Masters Victory over Higgins
Kyren Wilson secured the Paul Hunter Trophy and £350,000 after beating John Higgins 10-6 in a final marked by both players' fatigue from tough prior matches.
- On Sunday, Kyren Wilson won the Masters with a 10-6 victory over John Higgins at Alexandra Palace, claiming the Paul Hunter Trophy and the £350,000 top prize.
- Both finalists reached the showpiece after gruelling back-to-back 6-5 matches, and Kyren Wilson arrived having broken the cue he used to win the 2024 World Championship and exited the UK Championship last month.
- Wilson turned the tie with back-to-back century breaks of 103 and 111 to lead 5-3 at the end of the afternoon session, while Higgins started strong with a break of 58 and a 63-point lead before missing key shots.
- The victory gives Kyren Wilson a second Triple Crown title after the 2024 World Championship, and he fought back tears pledging to give the crystal from the Paul Hunter Trophy to his mother.
- Reflecting afterwards, Wilson said `In 2018 I lost in the final and I cried like a little girl, I'm trying not to cry now because it means so much to me`, calling the entrance one of the best experiences of his career.
