Damon Heta has won the fourth Players Championship of the year. 'The Heat' was 8-4 too strong for Chris Dobey in a high-stakes final.
“I really battled today,” reflected Heta, who averaged 103.37 in the final. “I had no consistency in my game today until that final, where I went: ‘Do you know what, you’ve done everything well today, just relax, trebles should be flowing, don’t try so hard, it should just happen.’
“I was really confident. I felt a relief off my shoulders before going for those big checkouts, and it just happened, so happy days!”  
Progression
The 36-year-old Australian is currently 11th in the world rankings. “I’ve already set my goals [for 2024]. I have them written down, but I don’t want to say too much,” added the former World Cup winner.
“I have been playing pretty well, and I’m bringing that form to the bigger stages now, so I feel really good.
“I’m putting in a lot of hard work behind the scenes, and I’ve got to believe that and trust that.
“I’m fully focused. I have big goals and I’m doing everything right to try and achieve them, so hopefully it all pans out.”
