John Higgins says that his final frame defeat at the Tour Championship in Wales was “unforgivable” and praised Australian Neil Robertson for fighting back from 9-4 down to defend the title he won 12 months ago.
The final defeat in Llandudno on Sunday is Higgins’ fifth of the season, and would have been a merited victory for a player who knocked in five centuries during the tournament.
But he missed a yellow at 9-4 that could have led to a 10th and winning frame, and missed a crucial red as Robertson went on to seal victory.
