Van Barneveld after winning first PDC ranking title since 2013 at Super Series: “I had the focus I never had for the last two or three years”

Raymond van Barneveld claimed his first PDC ranking title since October 2013 with victory over Joe Cullen on Day Three of the PDC Super Series.

Van Barneveld claimed this title only three days into his comeback after winning back his Tour Card at Q-School last week.

"I can't express how happy I am. Today it all went right, I had the focus I never had for the last two or three years," said Van Barneveld post match.

"I was an amateur last week and one week later I'm winning a ProTour, that's what you can do if you believe in yourself.

"I was so focused on winning that Tour Card, then I came here to the Super Series and I thought 'wow, this is another level' and I asked myself 'can I do this again?'

"Yes, of course I can if I believe. It's all about belief. I have to thank my management team who are making sure I practice every single day, which I've never done before in my life.

"When I came here I thought 'this is my place, Bolton has been good to me.

"Joe played amazing in the final, he is a class player and I knew I had to take my chances."
