Ross Smith claimed his maiden PDC ranking title at Players Championship 19 on the penultimate day of Super Series 5 action seeing off Brendan Dolan in the final.
Smith who has been a PDC Tour Card holder since 2012 saw off Dolan 8-4 in only his second final albeit also holding an eight match losing streak against Dolan but he overcame that stat and was overjoyed.
"It feels like it's taken me 50 years, I've been playing that long," Smith joked. "I'm so happy to finally win a title, I'm bursting with pride.
"Beating Brendan is a massive mental hurdle I've overcome today. I know I can beat anyone on my day but what I've always struggled with is the consistency.
"I feel like for the first time in my career I'm starting to beat the big players and then kick on in my next game.
"I hope this can be a breakthrough moment for me. Before this year I had never made a final, I've made two and one won now so there's no reason why I can't make an impression at the World Matchplay."

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024

- 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
