Fu rallies for title

MARCO Fu came back from 1-4 down to beat Scotland’s John Higgins 9-4 in the final of the Scottish Open on Sunday, his first ranking title in three years.

Higgins started the match with three consecutive centuries, but he was then outplayed by China’s Hong Kong’s Fu who won eight frames in a row to land the third world ranking title of his career and first since the 2013 Australian Open.

“It feels unbelievable,” said the 38-year-old Fu. “To beat John in Glasgow is one of the biggest wins of my career. It has been frustrating in my career to have only won two ranking titles. The way I score could have given me more success but I have always missed out in the semis or final of big tournaments.”
