Peter Ebdon joined an elite band of players to have won both the UK Championship and the world title with a 10-6 win over Stephen Hendry in York. The pair were locked at 4-4 after their opening session but Ebdon, 36, won the first four frames of the evening.
Hendry, whose form had disintegrated alarmingly, roused himself to close to 8-6 with a stirring break of 116.
But Ebdon, world champion in 2002, held his nerve and runs of 43, and a 70 in the last frame, sealed victory.
"I'm delighted with the way I'm playing - I can only get better," Hendry added.
"It was just a shame I couldn't finish it off today, but my time will come again this season."
