Thepchaiya Un-Nooh delivered a masterclass in snooker history, firing a maximum 147 break and three consecutive centuries to defeat Ronnie O'Sullivan 10-7 in the World Open final. The 41st seed's comeback from 4-0 down marked a dramatic turnaround, with his 147 break in the penultimate frame sealing victory. O'Sullivan, the 50-year-old seven-time world champion, showcased resilience with a 153 break—the sport's highest ever—and three centuries, but Un-Nooh's relentless scoring proved decisive.

Un-Nooh, whose only prior title came in the 2019 Shoot Out, earned a £175,000 prize, a stark contrast to his season-long struggles outside this tournament.
