TRUMP TRIUMPHS IN BELGIUM
The World Championship runner-up edged out O'Sullivan 4-3 in the decider in Antwerp, Belgium.
O'Sullivan took the first frame of a see-saw match thanks to a break of 63, only for Trump to reel off three straight frames with runs of 68, 65 and 65.
The former world champion responded in style with back-to-back century breaks of 118 and 132 levelling the final.
However, Trump emerged victorious in the final frame, runs of 44 and 41 putting him in control before he fluked the match-ball.
It was the world number seven's second PTC title of the season. He joins O'Sullivan and Neil Robertson as two-time winners.
"It was a really special match because the atmosphere was like the World Championship final," said 22-year-old Trump, who had knocked out world champion John Higgins in the quarter-finals.
"Ronnie always gets more support so to deliver a performance like that against him gives me a boost. He makes big breaks and puts you under it. Even at 3-1 up I was just hoping for a chance to win it.
"This season has been pretty good so far, I've been more than happy with the way I've played. I lost my first match in the two main ranking events but I've done well in the PTC events and I'm really looking forward to the UK Championship and the Masters now because those are the big ones."
As for the success of the tournament in Belgium, Trump added: "I definitely think we could have a full ranking event here. The fans have been great and the players would be more than happy to come back."
The next PTC tournament takes place in Sheffield from November 27-30. - http://www.sportinglife.com
