Michael Holt lifted his first ranking title as he won the Snooker Shoot Out with a dominant 64-1 final victory over Zhou Yuelong.
The 41-year-old, who turned professional in 1996, was last year's runner-up but went one better at the Watford Colosseum to secure the £50,000 prize.
Holt was beaten 74-0 by Thepchaiya Un-Nooh in last year's final but this time round made the most of an early chance at the table to take a commanding lead.
And with a snooker required, Zhou conceded the match with just over three minutes and 30 seconds remaining.
Holt - who went into the tournament ranked 41st in the world - had seen off Ian Burns, Joe Perry, Ben Woollaston and Yan Bingtao to reach the final.
Zhou - beaten by Holt in last year's first round - beat Jack Lisowski, Billy Joe Castle, Mei Xiwen and Lyu Haotian on the final day before again falling to the Englishman.
Holt's triumph also saw him move into 16th place on the one-year ranking list which sneaks him into this week's lucrative Players Championship event at the expense of Ronnie O'Sullivan.
