Smith edges closer to World Number Three spot, Noppert into career high in updated PDC Order of Merit

The PDC Order of Merit has been updated after the Dutch Darts Championship which took place this past weekend with Michael Smith taking the title.

Smith is currently World Number Four and in turn due to winning the title has strengthened his hold on this spot and has also gone closer to Michael van Gerwen in third.

Van Gerwen sits on £666,500 at the moment with Smith behind on £633,000 so could yet jump the Green Machine especially with the World Matchplay coming up.

While Danny Noppert is edging closer to the top ten with 'The Freeze' up to 11th in the Order of Merit, a career high for the Dutchman after reaching the final.

In the top 50 of the world ranking there was only one other change. Mervyn King took over 19th place from Damon Heta. Boris Krcmar, surprising quarter-finalist in Zwolle, passed Steve Beaton and Raymond van Barneveld and is now number 55 in the world.
