HUMPHRIES IS THE CHAMPION! Luke Humphries defeats Rob Cross to win his second European Tour title in a month! 'Cool Hand' lived up to his nickname as Cross piled on the pressure in the closing stages of the final.
Luke Humphries sealed a third PDC ranking title of the season and the second on the European Tour on Sunday evening defeating Rob Cross at the 2022 Czech Darts Open.
Humphries continued Cross' drought on the European Tour in an 8-5 victory and he said post match that he is starting to get the belief and confidence that titles bring.
"To win one Euro Tour was great, but to win two is unbelievable - I'm over the moon," said Humphries.
"I think the final was the best I played all weekend. Rob and I are good friends and he pushed me really hard.
"When you make that final it's hard because you're tired after a long day and when he took the 145 out it drained me.
"But I think the last two legs show a lot about my game and are testament to what I am now.
"I need to start believing I'm one of the best players in the world.
"I'm getting that confidence in my game, I feel like I'm making the next step now."
