Nathan Aspinall is a PDC ranking winner and the latest in a long line of different winners this year. He saw off another first time finalist in Ryan Searle.

Searle raced into a 2-0 lead but ‘The Asp’ came back to claim a 6-4 win with some silky finishing at the right time. Aspinall won four legs on the spin to lead 4-2, but lost his throw in the eighth leg. Searle hit back-to-back 13-dart legs to level at 4-4.
However, Searle failed to hold his own leg in leg nine and saw that Aspinall hit double 8 to move one leg away from victory. The former World Youth Championship runner-up took his chance and finished the game with a 16-dart leg to claim his first PDC ranking title.
