Selby downs O´Sullivan for second UK snooker championship title

YORK, United Kingdom: Mark Selby added a second UK Championship to his world title with a 10-7 win over Ronnie O´Sullivan in the final on Sunday.

World number one Selby swept into a 7-2 lead before five-champion O´Sullivan clawed his way back to 7-5 and then 8-7.

But the 33-year-old held his nerve to become just the sixth player to secure the world and UK titles in the same calendar year.
