Ricky Walden (131) The 2012 Players Tour Championship Grand Final (officially the 2012 Betfair Players Tour Championship Grand Final) was a professional ranking snooker tournament that took place between 14 and 18 March 2012 at the Bailey Allen Hall in Galway, Ireland.
Shaun Murphy was the defending champion, but he finished 37th on the Order of Merit, and didn't qualify.
Stephen Lee won his fifth ranking title by defeating Neil Robertson 4–0 in the final. It was Lee's first ranking title for six years, and Robertson's first defeat in a televised final.
It was also the final tournament he won in his professional snooker career, before Stephen was given a 12-year ban from the sport later that year, after his suspicious match-fixing and betting patterns arose.
