Stephen Bunting has added his name to the elite list of PDC major title winners after a stunning 11-7 victory over Michael van Gerwen in the final of the 2024 Masters
After both players raced through their respective semi-finals with ease, confidence was understandably flowing in both. As such, there were little if any chances handed out in an opening session that went with the throw, 3-2 to Bunting.
After the break, Bunting getting refused to let up, powering in big scores and ruthlessly taking out the checkout when he had the opportunity. As the Englishman upped his average to 98.47, and thanks to a couple of bullseye finishes, he took the second session 3-2 also to lead 6-4 as they headed off stage.
The game was far from over however, and van Gerwen proved he was still fighting with a brilliant double-double 92 to open the third session, followed by a hold of throw to level the tie at 6-6. Despite the van Gerwen fightback, Bunting held firm to keep his nose infront at the ad break, 8-7.
Punishing some missed van Gerwen darts at in the first leg back, Bunting moved 9-7 clear and after seven perfect darts in the following leg, 'The Bullet' moved just one from the win. Adding another maximum in the next leg, Bunting was accelerating towards victory and with his first match dart it was secured.

- Sophie played very well and seems incredibly calm and completely nonchalant. For the past few years Lisa's form has dropped through the floor and not surprised she lost. Sophie was decent.richieburnettrocks02-12-2024
