Spellman had made it to the final after beating Keith Way (5-4), Stowe Buntz (6-5) and David Cameron (7-5), only to face Doug Boehm.
In the final Boehm took a 7-3 lead, but the American squandered several match darts in the twelfth leg and then had no more chances for the final win. Spellman came back to 7-7 with a series of good legs and then decided the match with an 18-darter.
With this title, he is the first qualifier for the 2023 US Darts Masters so will play at Madison Square Garden.
In years gone by, this has been used as a PDC World Darts Championship qualification route and still could with one more qualifier set to be announced but as of writing, it will only gain him World Series qualification.
