Roland Scholten in an illustrious career had his biggest triumph in 2004 when he claimed the UK Open title defeating John Part in the final at a time in 'The Tripod's career when he was at his best with two straight Premier League Semi-Finals following that and also in the World Matchplay.

Speaking recently, the Dutchman looked back at his win at the Reebok Stadium in Bolton at a time where by his own admission, it was even harder to win a title due to the dominance of Phil Taylor.
"It was a really nice win obviously. I enjoyed the longer games at that time, I liked the atmosphere in there. I was feeling well, all the people I normally practised with and normally played with throughout the year, everybody obviously was participating; Steve Beaton, Denis Ovens and Colin Lloyd, all my darts friends were there," said Scholten in an interview with the Weekly Dartscast.
"It was a good memory. It was nice, I played well and I was feeling confident and that gave me the opportunity to win it. If you could take a trophy away from Phil Taylor at that time it gives you two weeks of floating instead of walking!"
