Wilson magically crushed O'Connor in the Scottish final.
In the final of the Scottish Open, Gary Wilson won 6 games in a row and defeated Joe O'Connor 9-2 to win the first ranking championship in his 18-year career.
In 2004, after winning the World Championships for Young Players Under 21, Gary moved to the professional competition. Since then, he has only reached the ranking finals twice. Losing to Selby at the 2015 China Open and to Williams at the 2021 British Open.
Wilson also reached the sacred semi-final at the 2019 World Championships, adding a glorious mark to his career. He performed well on the way to advance to the semi-finals. The 37-year-old defeated Brechel, Selby and Carter and ended up losing to ultimate champion Judd Trump. These poor goals made the victory even more "sweet".
Gary Wilson won the £80,000 championship prize, and his world ranking will rise to 18th place. This also put him in second place in the Wade series, where the player who accumulated the most prizes would receive an additional £150,000.
O'Connor entered the ranking final for the first time and ended in disappointment. The 27-year-old has played professionally for 4 years and enjoys the best time of his career so far.
He defeated many big-name players in one week. He defeated Zhao Xintong, Ding Junhui, Williams and Walton in turn to the semi-finals, and then defeated 2010 world champion Neil Robertson 6-3 to reach the finals. He won a runner-up bonus of £35,000. In the finals of
, the huge score gap opened early in the first stage. Wilson punished O'Connor for any of his turnovers and took a 6-2 lead.
in the second stage, Wilson won the first game, and then scored the black ball at the critical moment to win the second game and scored 8-2 to win the match point. He did not waste time locking in the chance to win, and he then added another 94 points to win his first ranking championship in his career.
Wilson said happily: "Win the championship means the whole world. In my career, I have thought I will never be able to go this far. You see big-name players doing this on TV, and it seems to be getting harder to win the championship. Everyone's competitive level is too high . "
" After experiencing such ups and downs in career, I finally won a championship, which is incredible. I realized my lifelong dream that I had when I was 8 years old, and I did it.
"I deliberately did not give myself any expectations. I've been to the finals a few times and lost in a match that should have won the championship. Even with an 8-2 lead, I still think the worst could happen, which will keep me focused and move towards the championship. This is just the experience I have learned over the years. After so many years of failure, I learned to accept everything. "
" I guess you can at least celebrate the championship with six or seven liters of wine. So I'm going to give it a try tonight and see what happens. "
O'Connor said: "I had a wonderful week. I beat a lot of top 16 players. Unfortunately, today I was not performing at my best. Congratulations to Gary, he is amazing and deserves this award. I love every minute here. I want to say thank you to my family and friends who came to watch the game. ”
