Asada claims third PDC Asian Tour win of the season to almost assure World Championship return

The eleventh PDC Asian Tour event of the season has been completed with Seigo Asada claiming a third title of the season defeating Noel Malicdem in the final.

Asada saw off Dolreich Toncopanon 5-1 before defeating Teng Lieh Pu Po 5-3. He then edged out Noel Malicdem in the final who himself by getting to that point assured himself of a World Championship spot.

He as a result has confirmed his PDC World Championship spot himself but he could choose to go down the route he did last year of attempting to win the Japanese Championship spot.

This in turn would hand the place to either Royden Lam or Haruki Muramatsu depending on the outcome of proceedings this weekend.
