Ross Smith sealed the European Championship from nowhere and has become the fourth player in a row based on seeding to do so with none of the top eight seeds successful again.
Smith was seeded 27th in victory but Rob Cross twice back in 2019 and 2021 was seeded ninth and 14th respectively with never having won a European Tour title.
Peter Wright is the only other name to do so having been seeded back in 2020 15th, will that run continue next year?

- 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
