BEIJING, March 31 (Xinhua) -- Stephen Maguire took the title of the 2008 World Snooker China Open with a dramatic 10-9 victory over Shaun Murphy here on Monday. Maguire had a dreaming start with a 5-3 lead in the first half. Murphy then fought back with a 136 break to keep the pace and powered into a 7-5 lead thanks to runs of 75, 46, 81 and 45.
However, it was Maguire's favor as he dished out a match-high 137 break, took the 14th frame and then added breaks of 80 and 89 to edge within one frame of victory.

Maguire took the lead with a 35 break, and Murphy responded with a 38. However, it was Maguire who triumphed by potting the final pink to seal the win with 64-60.

Winning the title, Maguire followed Neil Robertson's achievement of last term to take two ranking titles in the same season.
As well as the first prize, he also takes home a cheque for 22,000 pounds for his 147 maximum break against Day.
