Clayton moves to career high 24th in updated Order of Merit after win in Graz

Jonny Clayton added to his Players Championship title from the back end of 2017 by winning his first European Tour title yesterday in Graz defeating Gerwyn Price in an all-Welsh final.
Like Max Hopp who won in Saarbrucken this has gained him a lot of benefits including qualification for the World Matchplay and World Grand Prix later this year. Clayton has also moved up to a career high of 24th place in the updated Order of Merit following this win and seems on course for a potential top 16 spot before the end of the year.
Also this should gain him World Cup of Darts qualification alongside Gerwyn Price something he has been quite open about wanting after his win replacing Mark Webster in the process.

- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- 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
