JOHN HIGGINS admits snooker is his drug.

The 42-year-old Scot (left) made history by winning a record fifth Welsh Open crown, taking his overall tally of ranking titles to 30, two behind Ronnie O’Sullivan. Higgins said: “Getting into these positions does it for me. It is like a drug and you want to try it again and again. I can’t replicate that in anything else I do in my life.”
