Michael Smith sealed glory in Glasgow with victory over Dimitri van den Bergh in the final of 2023 Premier League Darts Night Three as he saw off the Belgian 6-4 with a 109 average.
For Smith, he now wants more but sees the positives that unlike last year he doesn't have to wait until Week 16 for a night win.
"I'm delighted - I just want to win nights like this," said Smith.
"At least I didn't have to wait until Week 16 to get my win! Apart from the Gezzy game, I felt good tonight.
"I was more nervous playing Gezzy because he won last week. He was up for it but I managed to pull through, and then against Jonny I had a 100 average.
"I had a few dodgy legs on doubles but everything else felt really good, and I had to keep believing in what I've been doing.
"Obviously I want to make the top four, I want to be in the finals night and I want to keep winning. I know I can't win every game I play, but when I'm playing well I know I can win and that's what the Premier League's about."

- 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
