Higgins wins third world title (Eurosport - Mon, 04 May 21:37:00 2009 http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/04052009/58/higgins-wins-third-world-title.html)
Scotland's John Higgins won his third World Snooker Championship after beating Shaun Murphy 18-9 in the final at the Crucible theatre. Exactly 11 years to the day after winning his third world crown, the 33-year-old took just three frames of the final session to win the two needed to secure the title he also won in 2007
I have this snooker question! Apart from your eye sight fading, how can a good player such as Steve Davis, Steven Hendry etc etc just seem to fade away after a number of years!
