British Open: Anthony McGill beats John Higgins to set up final against Shaun Murphy

McGill from a career of 12 people was in danger of falling from the tour, but the first 50 return was guaranteed.

When Higgins took the fifth frame in the range of 111, he looked at the former world champion.

However, McGill proved more stability and eighth ranking 104 breaks and 93 breaks in ninth assurance.

On Saturday, in the other semi -finals, Murphy wanted to end a 26 -month drought without the ranking title. The 43 -year -old made an excellent start to the world champion Selby four times and won the first three frames.

Selby fought to take the fourth frame at 123 intervals, but Murphy soon regained control.

He won a tense fifth frame that came down 54-0 before completing the match with 93 break to book his place in Sunday’s show and the chance to win the first prize of £ 100,000.

Murphy said he was “satisfied”: “I made a very difficult lottery to reach the finals, but I hope this didn’t come out much.

“It has been a while since I won a ranking event, so it would be nice to get one more.”
