Stephen Maguire has edged Stuart Bingham in a tense final frame to win the Welsh Open this evening.

The two players went into tonight's final session locked at 4-4 and continued to trade frames towards the finish line.

Maguire took an 8-7 lead with a brake of 77 but was pegged back by Bingham to take the tournament into a deciding frame.
