PDC Asian Tour Roundup | Hong Kong's finest dominate in Japan as Mongolian makes history

The Asian darts weekend in Shizuoka, Japan produced multiple standout performers. Hong Kong’s Man Lok Leung and Lok Yin Lee split the titles, while Mongolia’s Ganzorig Lkhagvasuren made history with a unique overall victory on the PDC Asian Tour.

During the second weekend of the season, played on 04/04/2026 and 04/05/2026, it was especially Lok Yin Lee who found top form. The 25-year-old reached three consecutive finals, underlining his strong start to the season. He opened convincingly with a whitewash of Pin Ching Lan and then averaged nearly 98 in a 4-1 win over compatriot and World Cup partner Man Lok Leung.

Lee continued his surge with victories over Japan’s Osamu Niki, Shoichi Yanase, and Ryuta Arihara, with his deciding-leg win against Yanase particularly impressive. In the semi-finals he saw off Yan Bin Chen 5-2, before proving too strong for Paolo Nebrida 5-3 in the Event Five final, a four-time World Championship participant. A second title looked within reach for Lee, but in Event Six he had to bow to Tomoya Goto. The Japanese ace battled back superbly from 3-1 down and sealed it with legs of 11, 13, and 14 darts. Goto had already taken out, among others, Christian Perez and Haruki Muramatsu earlier in the tournament.

Sunday opened with an all-Hong Kong final between Leung and Lee in Event Seven. This time, Man Lok Leung edged it. In a last-leg decider he secured his second Asian Tour title of the year. The 27-year-old impressed in the semi-finals with a 103 average against Odkhuu Khundaganai, producing legs of 15, 14, 11, 15, and 11 darts. Earlier he had scraped past Takayuki Masatsu and Jargalsaikhan Ulziibuyan.

The weekend finale delivered a historic moment. Ganzorig Lkhagvasuren became the first Mongolian player ever to win a title on the PDC Asian Tour. He started with two emphatic whitewash victories and then defeated his compatriot Bold Chuluunbaatar. He went on to dispatch Nebrida, Bin Chen, and Perez before outclassing Ryuta Arihara 5-0 in the final.

In the Asian Tour rankings, Arihara holds third place despite his defeat in the final. Lee and Motomu Sakai follow in fourth and fifth. Leung strengthened his lead thanks to his title, while Muramatsu, despite averaging 106.97 in a losing effort on Sunday, slips to second. That average stands as the highest losing average in Asian Tour history.

At the end of the season, the top five players will qualify for the World Darts Championship at the iconic Alexandra Palace in London, where Asia’s elite will once again have the chance to test themselves on the biggest stage.
