Former major winner Mensur Suljovic has taken one of his biggest wins in a number of years to send pre-tournament favourite, Michael van Gerwen packing from the UK Open in Minehead.
After a rough couple of years, Suljovic, who failed to even qualify for the recent World Darts Championship is currently languishing in 57th in the world rankings. 'The Gentle' looked as good as ever in Minehead though, fighting back from an early 4-1 deficit to edge van Gerwen 10-7 on the main stage.
