Murphy holds off Kyren Wilson fightback to win second Masters title

SHAUN MURPHY celebrated Masters success for a second time after a superb 10-7 victory over Kyren Wilson in Sunday’s thrilling final at Alexandra Palace.

Murphy had been irresistible all week and produced only the sixth maximum break in the tournament’s history in his semi-final win over Mark Allen.

A day later it was followed by four more centuries in a high-quality and tense final, in which Wilson fought back from a four-frame deficit to trail 8-7 before Murphy held his nerve as he deservedly triumphed 10 years after his maiden Masters crown.
