Matt Campbell travelled all the way from Canada to take part in the first lot of PDC European Challenge Tour events and his gamble has paid off with victory in the first tournament of the day.

Campbell defeated Rene Eidams (5-2), Thomas Kohnlein (5-2), Kevin van Wauwe (5-3), Maikel Verberk (5-4) before defeating Patrick Bulen (5-2) and Kenny Neyens (5-4) to reach the final.

He saw off Gino Vos from there 5-1 with an 82 average with the Dutchman having played on the ProTour and has a win over Michael van Gerwen this season.

Due to travel restrictions still in place due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the Challenge Tour has been split this year into a separate circuit for both British and European players.

The winners of both tours will be eligible to participate in the upcoming World Darts Championship and will receive a PDC Tour Card for 2022 and 2023.

The highest-ranking players on the PDC Challenge Tour Order of Merit qualify for the reserve spots at the Players Championship tournaments.
