Chris Dobey continued his rich vein of form to win Players Championship 25 in Wigan.
The 34-year-old Englishman proved unstoppable as he secured a third Players Championship title this year.
Dobey knocked out Luke Littler 6-5 in the quarter-finals, then brushed aside semi-final opponent Daryl Gurney 7-1.
And that set up a meeting in the final with Stephen Bunting, who defeated last-eight opponent Connor Scutt 6-4 before seeing off Andrew Gilding 7-4.
Bunting was beaten by Wessel Nijman in the Players Championship 24 final on Tuesday, and he again had to be content with the runners-up spot as Dobey triumphed 8-3.
“Confidence is key,” Dobey told the PDC website.
“I have won a couple of Players Championships already before today, and I know where I am in the Players Championship standings.”
“Once I saw I was in that number one spot, I set myself the target of being there at the end, and it has given me the motivation to get on the practice board and start performing like this on a regular basis.”
