Marvin van Velzen became the big winner of the eighth season of the MODUS Super Series last weekend. After a Dutch final, he became the first ever winner of "Champions Week.
For the previous 12 weeks, dozens of players competed for a spot in the final week of the MODUS Super Series 8. The twelve weekly winners received invitations to do so and competed this week for the top prize of 25,000 pounds.
The top six players from Monday through Friday's group matches were allowed to compete in Saturday's final day, which consisted of two groups. In Group A, Connor Scutt managed to win his group matches against Jimmy van Schie (4-0) and Tom Sykes (4-2). Van Schie also defeated Sykes (4-2) and advanced to the semifinals as number two.
Steve West remained unbeaten in Group B, proving too strong for Van Velzen 4-3 and triumphing 4-0 against Derk Coulsen. Van Velzen narrowly won the match against Coulsen 4-3.
Van Velzen then managed to knock off Scutt 4-2 in the first semifinal. Van Schie then took care of the elimination of Steve West (4-3), leaving two Dutchmen to battle for the top prize of 25,000 pounds. After a wildly exciting final, the title eventually went to Van Velzen 4-3.
The ninth season of the MODUS Super Series begins on Monday, Sept. 9. This week features a special week in which players must also start all legs with a double. Among those making an appearance are Richie Burnett, John Henderson, Robert Thornton, Scott Mitchell, Jeff Smith, Bradley Brooks, Devon Petersen and Ted Evetts.
