China's Zhao Xintong became the first player from Asia to win the World Snooker Championship with an 18-12 victory over Mark Williams of Wales at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England.
The 28-year-old is the first amateur and just the third qualifier to lift the trophy since the event moved to his current home in 1977. His achievement lifted him to 11th in the world rankings.
