Rodriguez claims fifth Development Tour title of 2021, secures top spot in Order of Merit

Rusty-Jake Rodriguez imperious run at the top of the European Development Tour continues with his fifth title in nine tournaments played.

Rodriguez saw off Niko Springer 5-1 in the final. With three tournaments to go, he now cannot be caught at the top of the Order of Merit.

As winner, he will secure a spot at the Grand Slam of Darts and a PDC Tour Card for 2022 and 2023. Having already qualified through the ProTour for the PDC World Darts Championship, this spot will now roll over to the second placed player.

This is currently Niels Zonneveld with Geert Nentjes, Sebastian Bialecki, Jurjen van der Velde and Kevin Doets all able to easily displace him.
