Mark Selby claims his first British Open title by beating fellow four-time world champion John Higgins in Sunday's final.

John Higgins admits he is frustrated with his performance in the evening session of the British Open final. The 49-year-old was beaten 10-5 by Mark Selby in the final, with the eventual victor pulling clear late on after a tight afternoon session saw the eight frames split 5-3 in the Jester from Leicester's favour.
