Graudenz defeated Bellmont 6-5 on Saturday in the SDC Tour 15 final to win the title with an utterly incredible 115 checkout using bull, 15, bull. Earlier, the German had defeated Ivo Furer 5-4 and Frieder Lang 4-3, among others.
On Sunday, Bellmont won the rematch. They faced each other again in the final, but this time the victory went 6-2 to the Swiss.
Earlier this year, the prize money for the SDC Tour was significantly increased. The winner of a tournament day now receives over 2,500 euros while the loser of the final goes home with over 1,000 euros.
