The former UK and European Open champion trailed 2-1 but fought back to lead 4-3 after the afternoon session at Belfast's Waterfront Hall.

And it got even better for the Glaswegian as he won five of the seven frames in the evening session to secure his third ranking event title.

As this year's winner he pocketed the £30,000 first prize, with O'Brien taking home £15,000 as a worthy runner-up.

"It's unbelievable winning this title, it really is another dream come true," said Maguire.

"I'm really tired for some reason. I'm over the moon, it's been a long time coming. It's been nearly three years since I've won a title and I've beat some great players all week.

"I'm just really pleased. I few years ago I was struggling, so to come back and win another title is fantastic.

"It was a tough match, but I was really happy with the way I competed tonight. It was never going to be easy, but I'm so thrilled."
