Kyren Wilson beat veteran John Higgins 10-6 to win his first Masters title at Alexandra Palace on Sunday.

The 2024 world champion, who was beaten by Shaun Murphy in last year's showpiece, clinched his second Triple Crown title.

Higgins, 50, became the oldest ever player to reach the final of a Triple Crown event but fell short of winning his first Masters title since 2006.

The UK Championship, which was won by Mark Selby in December, and the World Championship, which starts in April, are the other two Triple Crown tournaments.

This year's Masters featured five Chinese players for the first time in the tournament's 51-year history.

The Englishman won the Masters for the first time in 1995 aged 19 and his eighth in 2024 aged 48.
