Ronnie O'Sullivan has won the 888.com World Championship crown for the third time with a comfortable 18-8 success over Ali Carter at Sheffield's Crucible Theatre.



'The Rocket' needed only two frames of Monday's evening session to add to the titles he won in 2001 and 2004.


And not even the presence of a male streaker, who entered the auditorium at the start of the final session and spread-eagled himself under the match table, could spoil O'Sullivan's victory march.


The 32-year-old was never seriously tested in a low-key affair which came on the back of his stunning performance against seven-times winner Stephen Hendry in their semi-final.


O'Sullivan has again proved a controversial figure this season - a lewd outburst during the recent China Open prompting him to issue an apology - but has nevertheless ended the 2007-08 campaign as only the fourth player to complete snooker's most coveted treble.


He joins Steve Davis, Stephen Hendry and Mark Williams in winning the UK Championship and the world title in addition to clinching the number one spot in the rankings in the same season.


O'Sullivan also becomes the first player to be world number one on three separate occasions, having previously peformed the feat in 2002-03 and then again from 2004-06.


The Essex player has also topped the prize money list for the fifth season running in earning £638,350 from nine tournaments - including the £250,000 prize for winning the world title.


Hendry made £740,194 in season 1994-95 but that came from 15 tournaments.


Alongside Carter - playing in his first ranking final - he also earned a half share of the maximum break prize of £157,000.
