JOHN Higgins staged a staggering comeback to snooker after edging out Mark Williams 10-9 in a deciding frame to win the UK Championship final in Telford near London.
Williams assumed a 6-2 lead over his opponent after the afternoon session, and the Welshman looked to be coasting towards victory, but for a quite remarkable resurgence from Higgins saw him win the final five frames. The Scot ruthlessly capitalized on some apprehensive potting from his opponent as he took advantage of a string of uncharacteristic misses to clinch the title in the final frame. Higgins was out of the game following match-fixing allegations.
