Michael Smith has crept closer to first place on the Players Championship Order of Merit. 'Bully Boy' won a floor tournament in Niedernhausen for the third time this season.
He moved up to second place in the rankings. He is only 2250 pounds behind leader Damon Heta. Smith won the tournament at the cost of Dirk van Duijvenbode, who is the highest ranked Dutchman now after reaching the final and is in fifth place. He passed Michael van Gerwen, who is now number six.
Scott Williams, who surprisingly claimed the title at Players Championship 17 on Wednesday, moved up to thirteenth place with his victory. Williams was the third player ever to win a Players Championship title without owning a PDC Tour Card.
After all Players Championship tournaments the best 64 players will compete in the Players Championship Finals. This tournament will be played from 25 to 27 November in Minehead.
