higgins wins snooker world championship at the crucible
John Higgins had few problems on Monday in wrapping up a crushing 18-9 victory over Shaun Murphy to win his third world snooker title in dominant style.

The 33-year-old Scot added to his 1998 and 2007 crowns and joins a list of three-time winners with John Spencer and 2008 champion Ronnie O'Sullivan.

Murphy rarely threatened with Higgins doing much of the damage on Sunday which included two 128 breaks and a 91.

Leading 16-8, the 'wizard of Wishaw' took little time to secure his win.
