Ronnie O'Sullivan coasted to the UK Championship crown for the third time tonight with a 10-1 demolition of Dubliner Ken Doherty in York.
The world champion effectively guaranteed victory by building an 8-1 lead in the opening session and needed less than 20 minutes on his return to the arena to wrap up his first title of the season.
It was a mesmerising display by the world number two, who maintained his superb semi-final form against Mark Williams, which he had described as the best of his career. PA
