White storms to title in Prague

Eurosport - Sun, 18 Oct 23:07:00 2009

Jimmy White turned back the clock in Prague to beat Graeme Dott 5-3 and win the latest World Series of Snooker event.

SNOOKER 2005-2006 China Open - Jimmy White - 0

White came into the match full of confidence after beating world champion John Higgins in the semi-final and then raced into an early 3-0 lead with a break of 80 in the second frame being the early highlight.

Dott took the next frame but then a break of 91 put White on the brink of victory.

Dott edged a tight sixth frame and then produced his best break of the match (86) to reduce the deficit to just a single fame.

However, White then clinched the match with a break of 65.

It is another significant triumph for the Whirlwind who ended a five year drought for a professional title when he won the Sangsom 6-Red Grand Prix in Thailand back in July.

  2. Watched White vs Higgins......... Dunno about you but­ to me it looked like Higgins let White win, as I've­ never seen him miss so many easy pots.

    But White­ played well all weekend anyway.
