1987 Masters Snooker

1987 Masters Snooker

The 1987 Benson and Hedges Masters took place between January 25 and February 1, 1987 at the Wembley Conference Centre. The Top 16 ranked players took part in the competition. The total prize money was for 1987 £200,000.

Alex Higgins dominated the tournament, He had already beat Terry Griffiths in the first round 5-4 after being 1-4 down and won the match before his fans invaded the Conference Centre to greet him simlar to his 1985 match with Steve Davis in the same round. He then cruised past the then World Champion Joe Johnson and Tony Meo before facing fellow Irishman Dennis Taylor in the final which turned out to be a late night finish. Higgins by the evening session led 8-5 but Taylor won the last 4 frames to win his first and only title and his first major title since beating Steve Davis in the 1985 World Championship.

Also in the 1987 Masters, Ray Reardon made his last appearance in the competition when he played Joe Johnson and Cliff Thorburn failed to make it 3 Masters titles on the trot when he lost to Dennis Taylor in the semi-final losing 5-6.
