Disgraced snooker star Stephen Lee won a prestigious amateur tournament in the United States.

The 51-year-old was hit with a 12-year suspension in 2014, backdated to 2013, after being found guilty of match-fixing .

Lee’s ban is now over, meaning he is eligible to compete at WPBSA-sanctioned events.

He recently won the Embassy Snooker Open in California and scooped the top prize of $10,000 (£7,500).

"It's a long few days," Lee said after winning the tournament.

"I've not competed for a while and I was worried about lots of group games and matches and I always want to play well, but the well bit didn't happen.

"I played OK in patches but it does take it out of you. I'm pleased, really pleased, my fighting spirit's still there but I must have had almost 30 or 40 frames and no century.
