It was a first PDC title in close to eight years for
Kim Huybrechts as ‘The Hurricane’ sealed
Players Championship 3 in Barnsley.
Huybrechts thrashed Gabriel Clemens 8-1 and said afterwards that he is firmly setting his sights on returning to his former glory and moving up the rankings.
“This means the world to me. I’m so happy,” reflected Huybrechts.
"I've been working really hard since the World Championship. I lost two games last weekend with a 103 and 98 average and I was thinking this can't happen all the time, but the level is so high these days.
“When I won my last title, I was on the up. My name was always there and now I wasn’t even in the conversation, so this win means everything.
“I want to be back in that top 16. I want to be qualified for everything. I want to be up there again in the top ten of the world.
“That is my goal and some people will say I won’t reach it, but you have to set goals in your life, and I believe in my own ability.”
