Gary Anderson has won the second Players Championship of the year. 'The Flying Scotsman' was too strong for his training partner, Ryan Searle in the final 8-5.
A day earlier, Anderson went down in the second round against Lee Evans. "It's always nice to win these events, especially the way I played today," Anderson said in his post-match interview. "Yesterday I felt like a kid at a new school, I was nervous but today I felt more settled and it showed in my performances."
For Searle, it was his second final defeat in a row. "It's been a long day and I'm happy to come out on top against a great player in Ryan. We've practiced together a couple of times since the World Championship, we spur each other on," Anderson says of his good friend. "He's a great guy, he just gets on with it and plays darts, he puts the effort in so it's nice to see him do well."
"I'll just carry on doing what I do, I'm in a good place in my life and I'm enjoy playing darts," continued the 53-year-old Scot. "I'm looking forward to playing the European Tour events as well this year and I want to keep my form going."
Since this year, the Players Championship will be played during the week and no longer on weekends. "We are pros, so to me it doesn't matter what days we have to play," Anderson clearly states.

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
