Michael Smith has made sure that he doesn't leave this year's Premier League Darts with the unwanted stat of being the only player not to seal a weekly title by seeing off Jonny Clayton to win in Newcastle.
Smith saw off Clayton 6-3 in the final, with the latter ending the regular season top of the table and will face Joe Cullen in Berlin. For 'Bully Boy', it is a consolation as he ends the season outside of the play-off positions.
The St Helens ace was in dreamland to begin the final as he breezed into a 4-0 lead with a 103.6 average but this was nearly derailed as Clayton produced a 124 checkout to go 4-2 down.
It was three legs on the spin for Clayton as he made it 4-3 and sent panic to Smith but 'Bully Boy' coped with double 20 to go 5-3 up before going onto seal the deal as panic went to relief.
