What a fairy tale to see him winning a ranker, especially after the bitter end of his Northern Ireland Open run. He played very well in the evening session and he fully deserved it.
And what a route to the trophy; McGill at the first qualifier, MJW in the 1st proper round, Selby next, Hawkins, Bingham and now a resurgent Carter. UNBELIEVABLE!
I made a thought when he beat MJW in Wednesday, as I remember that Gould also beat the same opponent in his first round last year. But I didn't believe he could do it until he beat Hawkins in that dramatic quarter final. Now he's done it. Tremendous.

The very topplayers will always skip around 3 or 4 of these 20 rankers and even take it (at times) more or less as practice sessions for the bigger tournaments while the lower ranked players play for their life.
Ryan Day, Mark Davis, Michael Holt and whoever I forgot to mention. Their time will come. Mark my words.

Unfortunately thats only half of it, you've got to make the most of that, and Hamilton clearly never did throughout his whole career.
At least he's no longer the best player never to win a ranking event. I don't know if he'll ever win another, but this one is in the bag already at last!

I like Hamilton, and was glad he won, but I wouldn't put him on the same level as Ebdon or Doherty.
Basing it on pure talent, maybe. But there's more to succeeding as a professional player than talent. You've got to have the mental side to the game to be able to win tournaments. You've got to be able to be confident in front of a crowd and a television camera. You've got to be able to lose a frame you should've won, and not get angry enough to let it hinder you for the rest of the match. That's what separates the good/talented players and the great players. The mental strength.
Who knows? Maybe Hamilton will do like Bingham did after winning the Australian, and use his confidence to take more titles. But, as it stands now, I put Hamilton quite a long way behind Ebdon and Doherty.
