"I don't feel disappointed, I think I played well," said Humphries. "I played an A+ Michael van Gerwen and you can't make a mistake. I did in a couple of legs, I missed a dart here and there and I got punished.
"I thought I played a good game but a couple of mistakes cost me and if I'd took those finishes out I probably would have won.
"It was a closely-contested game, it was nip and tuck and he pulled out the good legs at the end. I was proud of myself the way I played, but the better player won in the end.
"Obviously, it's always disappointing to lose but I'll get that title this year soon, I'm sure. I've run into three brilliant performances in the final, but it's coming."

- 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
