In 'On This Day In...' Darts News looks back on a tournament or performance by a player on a particular date. This time, we look back to August 16, 2014.
This was the final day of the Singapore Darts Masters. This was it's first and only iteration on the World Series calendar and harked back to a time where the World Series was played without regional players.
This meant that only eight PDC players were present and the final was between Michael van Gerwen and Simon Whitlock. The latter defeat Raymond van Barneveld and Dave Chisnall; while the former saw off Andy Hamilton and James Wade.
'Mighty Mike' got off to a good start taking a 3-0 lead; however Whitlock returned proceedings to 3-3. In leg ten, he came back after a 47 finish with a break and after a 170 finish for 10-7, he claimed it 11-8.

- Well done Mike – good to move on and look to the future. With his talent, and increasing confidence on stage, he'll be a force to be reckoned with in the month ahead.

- 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
