The World Cup of 46-year-old O’Sullivan, who is never short of a small riot, had the necessary incidents. Even in the first part of the final against Trump, he got into a fight with the referee, who would have heard him say a comment. O’Sullivan disagreed and then refused to shake hands with the arbitrator.
Earlier in the tournament, O’Sullivan is said to have made a lewd gesture and called some opponents ‘numpties’ (idiots).
However, the snooker player showed his class on the green sheet in Sheffield. O’Sullivan quickly ran to 5-1 on Sunday, although he did see Trump come back to 5-4. However, Sunday ended 12-5 in favor of the then six-time world champion, who seemed to make short work of his opponent.
On Monday, however, it turned out that Trump, holder of one world title, would not give up easily. He even broke a record by scoring the 109th ‘Century’ of the World Cup.
O’Sullivan kept a safe margin and needed one more frame at 17-12 for title number seven. At 17-13, The Rocket managed to settle Trump’s argument with a score of 85-0, making him the oldest world champion ever.
