"You have to defeat really good dart players - Gary Anderson, Josh Rock and in the final someone who is always good on the Euro Tour, Luke Humphries.
"I knew that if I won today I'd be above Peter Wright in the world rankings and of course that's really important.
"You always have to give 100% and that's what I do all the time. Sometimes it doesn't go your way, but I'm a fighter and I never give up, and I keep fighting until the end.
"That's what I did today and that's why I won, and it's really good for myself."
