Posted on

Lei Peifan, China's world number 84, created more history in the first World Snooker Tour final between two players born in the 21st century, beating fellow countryman Wu Yize 9-5 to win the Scottish Open in Edinburgh.
Lei lifted the Stephen Hendry trophy to become the highest ranked player to win a tournament since 1993, when Dave Harold was world number 93 when he won the Asian Open that year. Lei had never been beyond the last 16 of a ranking tournament prior to this event.
