World number one Mark Selby has said that he is "over the moon" with his triumph at the UK Snooker Championship.
The 29-year-old defeated his English compatriot Shaun Murphy 10-6 in the final in York on Sunday.
"I am over the moon and it means a great deal. It makes it even more special to beat someone of Shaun's class," Selby told BBC Sport.
"It was a strange game, it was not pretty. I was twitching all over the place.
"I never really give in until the last ball is potted and that is me all over. If I was not like that, I would not have got to the final."
Selby won £125,000 as prize money for winning the competition.
