Ryan Searle sees off Cameron Menzies and takes the title at Players Championship 4!

Ryan Searle has taken the title at the 4th Players Championship event of the 2025 season in Rosmalen, Netherlands this Tuesday afternoon. In the final, 'Heavy Metal' defeated Cameron Menzies 8-3 to emerge as a winner on the Pro Tour for the 6th time in his career.

En route to his 16th Pro Tour final, Searle had fought off Florian Hempel (6-0), Mensur Suljovic (6-2), Owen Bates (6-1), Mickey Mansell (6-5), William O'Connor (6-4) and Stefan Bellmont (7-6) with some impressive performances. Menzies meanwhile, came past Jose De Sousa (6-5), Christian Kist (6-1), Wesley Plaisier (6-5), Stephen Bunting (6-3), James Wade (6-3) and Dom Taylor (7-4) to reach the 3rd Players Championship final of his career.

In the final itself, Menzies started strong with a 12-dart hold of throw in the opening leg. After Searle held his own in leg 2, Menzies fired right back with a 15-darter to nudge back in front. There wasn't much to separate the pair in the early stages though, and as 'Heavy Metal' pinned a 96 checkout in 2 darts for the 4th leg, it was all square again.

The first potentially key moment of the match came in leg 5, as Searle broke the Menzies throw in 13 darts to get a break up, then thanks to a pair of 180s in the next leg, the Englishman moved clear 4-2. Although Menzies held in leg 7, he couldn't pressure the Searle throw in the next leg, allowing 'Heavy Metal' to immediately restore his two leg cushion at 5-3. Moments later, Searle move a double break up at 6-3, taking firm control of the final. When he held in leg 10, Searle was suddenly just one leg away from the win. In the very next leg, an 8-3 victory was secured by Searle on double top.
