Michael Smith sealed the final of the Dutch Darts Championship on Sunday evening in Zwolle seeing off Danny Noppert 8-7 in the final.
It was Smith's fifth overall win on the European Tour and his first since winning the Gibraltar Darts Trophy in 2017.
"It's been five years and I've finally got number five on the European Tour," said Smith.
"It caps off a really good week, with [winning in] the Premier League, and coming here I played some really good stuff.
"I managed to hold my nerve in the end with that 104 so I'm over the moon. When I was throwing for that 104 I thought he'll check out the 132 so you've got to go, so luckily enough it went in.
