Record-tying 6th Masters crown for O’Sullivan

Ronnie O’Sullivan showed why he is called the Rocket as he earned a record-equalling sixth Masters title by thrashing Barry Hawkins 10-1 in the final in London on Sunday.

O’Sullivan, 40, had not played in a major tournament since last year’s world championship but there was little sign of any rustiness as he joined Stephen Hendry on six Masters titles. “I’m over the moon,” the five-time world champion told the BBC after lifting the trophy with the biggest winning margin in a Masters final since Steve Davis’ 9-0 victory in 1988. It was world No. 6 O’Sullivan’s first televised tournament since he lost to Stuart Bingham in the quarterfinals of the worlds in April.
