SNOOKER CHAMPION 2013 RONNIE O'SULLIVAN!

On Monday 6 May 2013, Ronnie O'Sullivan made history by taking the World Championship title for the fifth year in a row.

Willie comments that as the world watched O'Sullivan come out of his sabbatical for the 2013 World Championship, everyone wondered if he was capable of taking the title for the fifth year after having such a long period out of play.

He proved to the world that he could.

With a score of 18-12, O'Sullivan beat his fellow finalist Barry Hawkins.

Willie thoroughly enjoyed commentating for the 2013 championship, and was thrilled to be a part of the excitement and entertainment the championship has provided to all of its fans!
