The 2012 Masters (officially the 2012 BGC Masters) was a professional non-ranking snooker tournament held between 15 and 22 January 2012 at the Alexandra Palace in London, England.[1] This was the first time that Stephen Hendry didn't participate at the Masters since his début in 1989,[2][3] and the first time that BGC Partners sponsored the event.[4]
Ding Junhui was the defending champion, but he lost in the first round 4–6 against Ronnie O'Sullivan.[5] Ronnie O'Sullivan made the highest break of the tournament in the second round against Judd Trump, making a 141.
Neil Robertson won his first Masters title by defeating Shaun Murphy 10–6 in the final.[6] This was Robertson's 10th professional title and his second Triple Crown title after winning the 2010 World Snooker Championship.
