Which snooker player won the 1995 Masters at age 19, becoming the tournament’s youngest champion?

Ronnie O’Sullivan won the 1995 Masters at age 19, becoming the tournament’s youngest champion.

O’Sullivan defeated John Higgins 9–3 in the final at the Wembley Conference Centre. His victory came during the early part of a career that quickly established him as one of snooker’s most naturally gifted and successful players.

The Masters is an invitational tournament for leading players and is one of snooker’s Triple Crown events, alongside the World Championship and the UK Championship. Unlike the World Championship, it is not an open-ranking tournament in the same format.

The age record is often confused with records for the youngest World Championship winner or youngest ranking-event winner. O’Sullivan’s 1995 achievement specifically concerns the Masters, and his teenage victory remains one of the event’s defining records.
