England’s world number five, Selby secured his 16^th world ranking title and took home the £70,000 prize.

"It's been a long time since I won my last tournament," said Selby. "I've been second guessing myself wondering if I am doing things right.

"I got off to a great start and that just settled the nerves."

Now, Selby will make his way to the Northern Ireland Open in November with his focus set on the £1 million prize, which will be awarded to the player who wins all four Home Nations crowns.
