Resuming 8-0 ahead from the afternoon session, the two-time world champion took under an hour to wrap up the two frames required for victory at the Telford International Centre with an awesome display.

Maguire restored some pride with two half-centuries in the ninth and 11th frames, but it was a case of when rather than if as O'Sullivan recorded his two biggest breaks of the match to complete a victory which restores him to provisional world number one.

The last time O'Sullivan lifted the UK title was in 2001, when he swept aside Ken Doherty 10-1, and this contest was similarly one-sided.

After losing the first eight frames of the day Maguire prevented a possible whitewash with a 99 break - then the biggest of the contest - to restore some pride.

Normal service was resumed in the 10th, however, as O'Sullivan swiftly seized that honour by recording a 126 - the only surprise being how long it had taken to arrive.

A 57 break from Maguire in the 11th delayed the inevitable but O'Sullivan brought the audience to their feet with a run of 94 to cap a magnificent victory.
