NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Ronnie O’Sullivan got the Bolton crowd laughing after winning the Champion of Champions title on Sunday night, claiming he has been on a roll for 30 years.
The Rocket beat Judd Trump 10-6 to win the event for a fourth time, making three centuries in the final, while Trump sprung into life in the eighth frame with an amazing 147.
It was the second title of the season for the world champion after he won the Hong Kong Masters and when it was put to him that he was on a roll, O’Sullivan said: ‘I’ve been on a roll for 30 years.’
Clearly enjoying himself in the post-match interview, the prospect of the UK Championship starting this weekend was brought up and O’Sullivan replied: ‘I’ve got seven of them so I suppose eight sounds good, could always do with another one I suppose.’
