Last weekend, three tournaments were played on the CDC Tour. This circuit is open to darters from North America. The titles went to Gary Mawson, Stowe Buntz and David Cameron.
The first tournament of the weekend in the state of Illinois was a triumph for Mawson, who caused an insane surprise in 2008 by reaching the UK Open final. At the time, he lost to James Wade.
This time, Mawson did win a final. Among others, he defeated David Cameron (6-4) and Jake Womack (7-5) to reach the final. Then Mawson took the title with a 7-4 win over Jeff Springer. The next tournament also had an American winner. Buntz showed success by defeating Jake Womack (6-0), Jim Long (6-0), Gary Mawson (7-6) and Jacob Taylor (7-5), among others.
Cameron took the final title of the weekend. He handled Gary Mawson (6-5) and Jim Long (7-2) to qualify for the final. Therein awaited compatriot Jeff Smith. The Silencer was then swept aside 7-6.
