Dirk van Duijvenbode sealed a superb final win over Ryan Searle 8-4 at Players Championship 6 in which 'The Titan' claimed his fifth PDC title and in his eyes his second best.
But it was a first for Van Duijvenbode who spoke afterwards and said that it is the first time he has been pain free ever and that he is grateful with that now showing in his results after recent work with a physio.
“I would say this is the second best title of my career,” said Van Duijvenbode earmarking his 8-0 win over Clemens in his first as his best.
“I’m working with a great team. This is the first weekend for about 18 months where I haven’t had an injury, and I cannot tell you how grateful I am.
“Ryan is one of the nicest players on the tour. He is such a good player. He’s very good, and I am always happy if I beat him, but it is never easy.
“My goal is to win three titles this year and I’m already on two after six [Players Championship] events, so hopefully I will make the third as well!”
