Ronnie’s in the money

-

RONNIE O’SULLIVAN became snooker’s first £10million man with a brilliant defence of his Shanghai Masters crown last night.

The Rocket pocketed the £200,000 first prize with a high-class 11-9 victory over world No.7 Barry Hawkins.

That took five-time world champion O’Sullivan’s career prize money over the eight-figure mark – a figure not reached even by Stephen Hendry and Steve Davis.

O’Sullivan said: I’ve so many trophies at home – the first one is very special but now it is more about experience­s.”

RYAN Fitzpatric­k threw for 402 yards and four touchdowns, as the Buccaneers upset Super Bowl champions Philadelph­ia 27-21 in Tampa Bay.

It was the second successive week that the Bucs quarterbac­k had notched four TDs, after last week’s 48-40 win over the New Orleans Saints.

Fitzpatric­k (above), who threw all his TD passes in the first three quarters to inflict the Eagles’ first defeat of the season, is filling in for injured first-choice QB Jameis Winston.
