Tom Daley has claimed his first title of 2009 in the men's 10 metre platform at the FINA Grand Prix in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Daley, who is still just 14 years old, saw off Olympic silver medallist Luxin Zhou and last year's World Cup champion Sascha Klein in the final to take gold.
Daley's winning total of 554.90 was based on his penultimate dive, a backwards three-and-a-half somersault tucked which prompted across-the-board 10s from the judges.
The Great Britain squad now have three silvers and Daley's gold to their name.
