In earlier rounds, the former Northern Ireland champion defeated Dominic Dale 5-4 and followed up with a 5-3 win over ex-world champion Mark Williams.
Ronnie O'Sullivan, the reigning world champion, won the tournament, beating surprise finalist Dave Harold by nine frames to three. The "Rocket", who picked up a cheque for £30,000, had a best-of-match break of 103.
