Humphries recorded the highest average of the day with a superb 112.18, setting the standard at the top of the PC17 list. That was only part of the story, though, with the Englishman appearing five times inside the top 15 highest averages from the tournament.
Jermaine Wattimena, who went on to face Humphries in the final, produced the second highest average of the day. The Dutchman registered 111.05, making him the only other player to break the 110 mark at PC17.
Humphries then appeared again in third place with a 109.11, further highlighting his consistency across the day.

Danny Noppert was also among the standout Dutch performers, registering 105.00, before Humphries added another ton plus figure with 104.89. That average came in his final victory over Wattimena, as he completed the job and secured his second Players Championship title of the 2026 season.
Sietse Lap posted 104.81, Doets appeared for a third time with 103.94, and Humphries rounded out the top 15 with 103.83.
It was a leaderboard that told the story of the day clearly. Wattimena, Doets and several others produced major numbers in Leicester, but Humphries was the player who repeatedly found the highest level and turned that scoring power into the title.
