Ricky Walden poses with the trophy. |
Ricky Walden claimed his second ranking event victory with a 10-4 Wuxi Classic final win over fellow Englishman Stuart Bingham.
Resuming 7-1 ahead from an afternoon session in China, Walden quickly left himself on the cusp of the trophy and £75,000 first prize with breaks of 43 and 73.
Bingham then mounted a mini fightback to reduce the deficit to 9-4. But Walden held his nerve to take the one frame he needed for victory.
It was Walden's second ranking event title having won the Shanghai Masters in 2008.
Bingham had struck a 147 maximum break in the sixth frame, becoming the only player other than Stephen Hendry and John Higgins to make a maximum in a ranking event final.
