Hailing from Wakefield, Dan Bradbury was playing his third professional tournament and had not expected such an amazing start to his career. It was a big moment, and in his interview, the rising star said:

"It is going to take a few days for this victory to sink in."

Despite playing under pressure, Dan Bradbury won the trophy thanks to his mother's support. Bradbury said:

"What I have achieved is unbelievable. It's just a lot of pressure taken off your back - that's nice, and the victory was all the more special because my mother was here to witness it."
