Stephen Lee won his first ranking event for six years by beating Neil Robertson 4-0 in the final of the Betfair Players Tour Championship Grand Finals in Galway.
The 37-year-old from Trowbridge outplayed Masters champion Robertson at the Bailey Allen Hall to win the trophy and £70,000 top prize - the fifth ranking title of his career and first since the 2006 Welsh Open.
Lee dropped out of the world's top 16 in 2008 and appeared to be in freefall down the rankings. But he has found a second wind in his career and is now pushing for a place among the top eight.
Australia's Robertson saw his perfect record in televised finals broken as he lost for the first time in 10 attempts. The 30-year-old Cambridge-based potter had to settle for the runner-up prize of £35,000. - http://www1.skysports.com
