Luke Humphries has sealed back-to-back European Tour titles defeating Rob Cross in a final for the second week in a row in a thrilling tie 8-7 at the European Darts Grand Prix.
Humphries adds to a ProTour title and triumphs in Munich and Prague also over the last month making it four titles for the season clinching the win with a 102.3 average in the final.
Cross took an early lead but hit a 177 and 180 and didn’t get a shot allowing Humphries to pin an 11-darter to level up.
From there, he surged into a 3-1 lead and continued to cement a two leg cushion including a 120 checkout to go 5-3 up. He looked to be easing to victory with another 11-darter to break but Cross hit back straight away to trail 6-4.
He held to go one behind but Humphries went one away with a 121 on the bull for 7-5. He missed two match darts at double 18 in the requisite leg and Cross held to make it 7-6 as he looked to force the decider.
A third match dart came and went for Humphries as Cross made it 7-7 where he’d have the throw.
Cross left 40 from 118 with Humphries having a shot at 108 and he took his chance to seal it.

- 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
