It was a fantastic opportunity for us and we were absolutely delighted to sponsor the event at Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility - the first time it has returned to Scotland since the 2010 World Open in Glasgow.
The Grant Property Scottish Open was televised live on Eurosport and various Chinese TV channels, as well as being streamed via liveworldsnooker.tv and Watch&Bet.
And some of the Grant Property team were lucky enough to enjoy the thrilling final, where China's most successful player ever, Ding Junhui, added to his impressive list of accolades by beating Glaswegian Anthony McGill 4-2.
Local favourite McGill had enjoyed a miraculous run to the final, but much to the crowd's disappointment, came up just short against the more experienced Ding.
Grant Property CEO and owner, Peter Grant, said: "We’re proud to have played a part in bringing World Snooker back to Scotland.
“It’s been far too long since we had a World Snooker event in Scotland so we were more than happy to lend our support to this one.”
In this article on World Snooker, Ding, who earned the £10,000 top prize, said: "I played well this week, I made a lot of big breaks and concentrated in every game. I've built a lot of confidence here and if I can keep my form going I can win more titles this season."
McGill, who walked away with £5000, said: "I could have been out earlier, [so] to get to the final is a personal best. But I missed too many easy pots in the end. It was my first time in a big arena and I'll deal with it better next time."

And keep your eyes peeled for more Grant Property sponsored events in the very near future.
