White ended Van Gerwen’s last leg decider streak and his five year reign as champion in the tournament. He spoke afterwards saying that it’s a great feeling but he wants to push on now in TV events to have improved performances. "It's a great feeling to win this title, I always wanted to play Michael and beat him in a final so this shows I can do it," said White. "It was difficult playing in front of the Dutch crowd, but I understand they want Michael to win. "I've been in quite a few finals lately, I've been playing well on the
European Tour and this will help with my performances in TV events going forward. "This is still a big stage and hopefully when I go to the World Matchplay I will do it up there as well, then I'll be flying up the top ten."
