Murphy has also won the UK Championship and the Masters, so it seems an odd example of a fluke winner. And even though Dott has only won one other ranking event, it seems harsh referring to his World Title win as a fluke. He has reached the final three times.

Yeah I agree, I think it's better for the game if Ronnie wins instead.
