The Regal Scottish Masters 2001 was a snooker tournament as part of the Snooker Main Tour of the 2001/02 season . The invitation tournament was held from September 18-23 at the Thistle Hotel in Glasgow . After eleven years in the small town of Motherwell , the tournament returned to the largest Scottish town, where the tournament had started 20 years earlier.
The defending champion was the reigning world champion Ronnie O'Sullivan . He reached the final again and met his opponent in the World Cup final John Higgins . This time the Scot had the upper hand with 9: 6 and thus retaliated for the final defeat against O'Sullivan in 1999 . After the Champions Cup , he had won the second tournament of the season.
