Stuart Bingham - Snooker's new world champion coming to terms with his win

Four months after beating Shaun Murphy 18-15 to become the Snooker World Champion, Stuart Bingham who started the tournament as a 50-1 outsider, is coming to terms with what this means.

All of the long hours and travel mileage of the many years of his career came to a fruition in early May 2015 as he put aside any tag of being a 'journeyman' and with that broad grin which came with the win, accepted his position at the top of the pile.

His intention is to continue to enter many events on the tour as "...it is a numbers game...your number might come up once or twice..."  He is on the lookout now to add the UK Championship or the Masters to the trophy cabinet.

We all look forward to seeing him back at the Crucible next April.
