Dirk van Duijvenbode proved himself the best at a Players Championship tournament for the fourth time in his career on Sunday. In the final of Players Championship 4, he defeated Ryan Searle 8-2.
He delivered an excellent day. Among others, he also beat Mervyn King, Jonny Clayton, Stephen Bunting and Joe Cullen. Van Duijvenbode's biggest weapon Sunday was his high number of 180-scores. 'Aubergenius' threw no fewer than 35, equalling Dave Chisnall's Players Championship record.
“I think I was at the top-level of my focus,” admitted Van Duijvenbode.
“I love playing Ryan because he plays at a nice tempo. He’s very good so you know you have to perform well, but he doesn’t try any tactics. I love the man.
“I didn’t love it last week when he beat me from 5-3 down, and he went on to win the event! I am glad I won it today though.
“This is my fourth ProTour title, so hopefully now I can win a European Tour title or a televised title this year, but every win is special.
“I want to improve every year. Eventually, my main goal is to be World Champion. In my mind I’m still a long way from that, but I’m just trying to improve every year and look critically at my game.”
