Davis's next attempt and left Taylor with a middle-distance pot to the corner pocket. Taylor missed the pot, which commentator Jim Meadowcroft described as "biggest shot of his life". This left Davis a thin cut shot in the top left corner. He missed the shot, and left the black in a potable position into the same pocket. Taylor made his way to the table and potted the black to win the match. The final finished at 12:23 a.m. on 29 April 1985.
