SNOOKER: WILLIAMS IS THE MASTER.
Mark Williams Mark Williams is the name of the following people: Great Britain
- Mark Williams (politician) - British Member of Parliament for Ceredigion
- Mark J. Williams - professional snooker player
- Mark Williams (actor) - British actor and comedian
brought the curtain down on 29 years of Benson and
Hedges Masters history last night by denying Stephen Hendry Stephen Hendry, MBE (born January 13, 1969 in South Queensferry, Edinburgh) is a Scottish professional snooker player, whose achievements make him one of the most successful players of the modern era. He spent a record eight consecutive years at no. a seventh
Wembley title.
Williams won pounds 210,000 along with the gold trophy for his
crushing 10-4 success. It was the biggest winning margin since Ronnie
O'Sullivan defeated Hendry's fellow Scot John Higgins 9-3 in
1995.
Williams has now won the UK and Masters crowns in the last two
months. And he now needs the World Championship at Sheffield in May to
complete snooker's triple crown. Williams beat Hendry 10-9 on a
re-spotted black in the 1998 Masters final but a close return never
materialised.
