SNOOKER star Mark Selby has revealed what he plans to spend part of his £100,000 Welsh Open prize money on.
Selby, 41, beat Stephen Maguire 9-6 to win his second Welsh Open title on Sunday.
With the score at 6-6 in the final session, the Jester from Leicester managed to seize control and take the final three frames to secure the victory.
In doing so, Selby also took home the huge £100,000 jackpot.
And he vowed to spend some of the money on a new Kindle for his daughter, Sofia.
Selby’s wife, Vikki, and daughter were both in attendance at Venue Cymru for the event.
After the match, he said: “The red I missed she (Sofia) probably would have potted that as well. I’ll get one [a Kindle] if she wants.
“The clearance Stephen made, it was ridiculous, one of the best clearances I have seen. But it didn’t surprise me.”
Speaking to BBC Sport, he also explained: “Obviously I’m delighted.
“It’s great to see Stephen back in finals, four years is way too long, he’s a class act and I’m one of his biggest fans.
“This week I won a lot of key frames when I’ve been 40 or 50 points behind, that’s been the difference.”
Meanwhile, Maguire said: “I had a good week, I’ve enjoyed myself, and I have just come up short in the end.
