RONNIE O’SULLIVAN PULLED level with Steve Davis on six UK Championship titles and clinched a record-equalling 18th major crown thanks to a 10-5 victory over Shaun Murphy on Sunday.
Having won his maiden ranking title at the 1993 UK Championship aged just 17, O’Sullivan has now matched the record of seven-time world champion Stephen Hendry in snooker’s three biggest tournaments.
O’Sullivan has five world titles and seven wins at the Masters to go with his six UK crowns.
The 42-year-old was locked at 5-5 with 2008 champion Murphy before racing clear in the second session of the final in York.
O’Sullivan will go in search of an eighth Masters title and the outright record in snooker’s Triple Crown at Alexandra Palace in January, taking on Marco Fu in the first round.

Not even close!!!
Except if Van Dijk is turned he has the pace to recover and also turns faster than a JCB in the first place. If Maguire goes to City I can see him being punished on the break. Also if he was the exact same player only Irish theres not a hope this figure would be paid for him and he probably wouldn’t have even got to Leicester.
@Hugh Jass: I don’t know what Maguire you’re taking about, but this lad bossed City’s attack a few weeks back and had no problem running up the wing with the ball , skipping past opposition wingers and defenders and putting in a fairly decent cross for a CB… and don’t say that’s just one game !!! Its my opinion he has the same attributes as Ramos in that he’s powerful, good in the air, can run with the ball and is a danger in the box for any defending team…..
There is similarities in their play tbf. Van dyke is better but I do rate Maguire and we would see what he can do at a better team. Time would tell.
@Seaniecp: Agree, and I do think he would be a great addition to the Utd team.
@Logan Shepherd: not for 100m
@Ich bin brendan: Definitely not. He’s not worth half that. But at the right money he is better than Utd’s current CB options. In my opinion anyway.
@Ich bin brendan: I wouldn’t believe fees that are being tossed around in the media or on social networks. He other day sky reported that but city and Utd would pay 65m for him … then you here 100m then 100m plus addons etc from other sources
Decent player but overacted by English media.
What is he smoking
Ha,ha,ha.
Hilarious
Hey 42 I think that’s just a picture Tody Leonard Moore in a Leicester jersey
