Ronnie O’Sullivan scored another huge win against rival Judd Trump as he claimed a fourth Champion of Champions title on Sunday night.
But the Rocket’s success was marred by a poor sportsmanship row after he failed to shake Trump’s hand for his earlier 147 maximum break.
World No1 O’Sullivan, who also beat the Juddernaut in May’s Crucible final to win a seventh world title, ran out a 10-6 winner on Sunday to pocket the £150,000 first prize.
But the 46-year-old remained sitting in his chair rather than offer the customary congratulations when world No3 Trump produced a superb seventh career 147 to close to 6-2.
It was a second title of the campaign for O’Sullivan – who also won the recent Hong Kong Masters – and he heads to next week’s UK Championship in excellent touch.
