Since winning the green jacket for the Austrian Darts Open in 2018, Jonny Clayton has failed to add to his title tally on the European Tour but that curse is now over ironically in the same tournament five years on.
Clayton saw off Josh Rock in the final in a superb display from 'The Ferret' who was irresistible at times with a 101 average, five 180's and 42.1% on the outer ring against the first time European Tour finalist who just couldn't find the break he needed.
