Nathan Aspinall returned to the winners' circle for the first time since 2020 on Sunday with his triumph at
Players Championship 13 in Barnsley.
It is remarkable for 'The Asp' who suffered a potentially career threatening elbow injury which he revealed prior that he does need surgery on at some point and by his own admission, he never thought he'd return to his best again.
“I feel so emotional, I've had a terrible six months with so much going on. It was only a few weeks ago I was wondering if I would ever play at the same standard again,” said Aspinall.
“I have put so much work in over the last few weeks to try and get back to the level I know I could play, and it’s all come together today.“
"In two years since I’ve won a tournament, you start to doubt yourself if you belong with the big boys. But over the last couple of weeks I have put the time in and I am reaping the rewards, and today I am the winner.”
