Cameron Menzies was the best yesterday at the penultimate Players Championship of the year. 'Cammy' defeated Stephen Bunting 8-4 in the final to become the PDC's first ranking winner.
Menzies had lost the final at Players Championship 19 earlier this year, but at Players Championship 29, the 35-year-old Scot took the win. Moreover, Menzies did not steal the victory, beating no less than six former winners of TV tournaments on his way to the title.
“I’ve won a ProTour, and nobody can ever take that away from me,” reflected an emotional Menzies. I wanted to win this title so much; I’m absolutely buzzing. This means so much to me."
Cameron Menzies in action
“At one stage I never thought I was good enough to win a ProTour, but I believe right now I’m playing the best darts of my life.
“I’m playing against the best players in the world here, and I feel when I’m on my game, I can match them, and I never thought I’d be able to do that.
Steps
Menzies does not want to rest on his laurels and is already dreaming of more success. "Hopefully this is a stepping stone to winning a major [title], like Ritchie [Edhouse] and Mike De Decker have done recently."

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
