The 2018 World Snooker Championship was a professional snooker tournament held from 21 April to 7 May 2018 at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England. Hosted by the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association, it was the twentieth and final ranking event of the 2017/2018 season and the 42nd consecutive time that the World Snooker Championship had been held at the venue. Defending and three-time world champion Mark Selby had won the world title for the previous two years, but lost in the first round 4–10 to English professional Joe Perry. Welsh left-hander Mark Williams (pictured in 2015) won his third world title and 21st ranking title, defeating Scottish professional John Higgins 18–16 in the final. The win came fifteen years after Williams' second world title in 2003. At the age of 43, he became the second-oldest world championship winner at the Crucible Theatre, following Welsh professional Ray Reardon who was 45 in 1978. (Full article...)
