Devon Petersen claimed his maiden PDC title at the German Darts Championship in Hildesheim seeing off Jonny Clayton in the final.
Petersen spoke afterwards and gave thanks to Wayne Mardle and Colin Lloyd, who he has been working with on different aspects of his game which have made a difference massively.
"I've been working hard for what feels like a lifetime. Without doubt, this is an incredible moment in my life," said Petersen, who will take on Jose De Sousa in round one of the World Grand Prix.
"There's been so much hard work put in behind the scenes. I've been working with Wayne Mardle for a while now, he suggested some technical adjustments to my throw a long time ago which have improved my game massively.
"During lockdown I've been working a lot with Wayne on the psychological side of the game and I'm also in regular contact with Colin Lloyd, who has the experience of being a winner at the highest level.

Confidence is high for 'The African Warrior' after claiming this title with his aims now potentially shifting towards being a pivotal part of major tournaments including the World Matchplay next year.
"Lockdown has meant that I've been able to practice for four to six hours a day. That's time to work on your game that you never normally have with the packed calendar.
"I played well at the Summer Series and Autumn Series. Being in a position to win a title against Gerwyn Price at the Autumn Series allowed me to go all the way this time.
"It's not been an easy ride, I nearly lost my Tour Card in 2018 so to now see my name on a champion's trophy means so much.
"My focus has always been on qualifying for the World Championship every year. Playing in the World Matchplay and World Grand Prix was always a pipe dream but now it's a reality.
"I'm in great form and I feel like I can win every tournament."

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
