Jak Jones beats Mark Selby 10–6 to win the British Open
Jak Jones claimed the 2026 British Open in Cheltenham, defeating Mark Selby 10–6 in the final.
A second ranking title for Jones
Jak Jones defeated Mark Selby 10–6 in the British Open final at The Centaur in Cheltenham. The victory gave the Welshman his second ranking title of the 2026/27 season after his Championship League success.
Jones reached the final by beating Judd Trump 6–3. Selby came through the other semi-final with a 6–3 win over Liam Highfield.
The result now belongs with the calendar
The event finished on 6 September, so its tournament page now leads with the confirmed champion and final score. A completed event should remain useful as an archive rather than continue to display a generic promise of future data.
The next main-tour event began the following day in Brentwood. Keeping the completed British Open result beside the active English Open coverage helps readers move through the season without losing the sequence of events.
