Judd Trump lifted the trophy at the CBSA event in Huangguoshu on Saturday, beating John Higgins 5-1 in the final.
Unsurprisingly it was the main tour professionals who dominated the competition, with Trump edging out Kyren Wilson in the semi-finals and Higgins thrashing Yuan Sijun 4-0 to make it to the showpiece.
There it was Trump who bossed the contest, seeing off the four-time world champion 5-1 to get his hands on the impressive trophy and pocket 200,000 CNY – around £22,000.
The 33-year-old wrote on social media: ‘Nice start to the season in China.’
The Ace played in the Championship League at the start of the season, falling at the second group stage, and this represents the first title he has lifted since the Masters in January.
Some of the professionals travelling to China fell early, with Jack Lisowski losing to Tu Xuan and Stephen Hendry to Cai Jianzhong in the last 32.
There were some high profile contests by the last eight, where Higgins beat Mark Williams and Wilson downed Mark Allen 4-0, while Trump beat Cao Yupeng 4-1 and Yuan ousted the only non-professional left, Zhao Hanyang 4-3.
Trump will be back in action at the European Masters in Nuremberg, Germany from 22 August before returning to China for the Shanghai Masters which runs from 11-17 September.
