Ronnie O’Sullivan soaked up the adulation after becoming the oldest winner of the UK Snooker Championship in York but claimed: “I get more of a buzz from going for a run in the morning and having breakfast with my mate.”
O’Sullivan, who celebrates his 48th birthday on Tuesday, reeled off the last three frames to beat Ding Junhui and win the title for a record-extending eighth time, 30 years after he won it for the first time at the age of 17.
