PDCSunday, 09 December 2018 at 18:22
Glen Durrant has won the 2018 Finder Darts Masters. The Middlesbrough ace completed his hat-trick after winning this BDO major in 2015 and 2016 as well.
'Duzza' really had to fight for the title, as Richard Veenstra offered fierce opposition. 'Flyers' even took a 3-1 lead in sets against Durrant.
However, the Dutchman was not able to continue his strong performance from the first interval after the break. Durrant became stronger and redeemded more chances on the doubles. He won the next three sets on the spin, while dropping only two legs for a 4-3 lead.
Veenstra took the lead in set eight with a 12-dart leg, but 'Duzza' made one a piece with a fantastic 170 checkout. The two-time Lakeside champion then hit a 50 finish, followed by a 12-dart leg to claim the title at the Finder Darts Masters.
The finals of the youth and ladies tournament were played earlier on Sunday. Lisa Ashton defeated Fallon Sherrock to claim the ladies title, while Keane Barry won the youth event.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
