Patrick van den Boogaard has won the eleventh playing week of the Modus Super Series 4. In the final, he defeated Englishman Jarred Cole 4-2.
"I never ever expected this when I came here on Monday morning," Van den Boogaard admits in his post-match interview, more in shock than in celebration. "It's phenomenal it really is."
"I juat wanted to enjoy the game again and enjoy the stage as well. As the week continued I just felt better and better," he continues. "This is by far the biggest thing I've achieved in my career so far. I won the Six Nations Cup with the Dutch team, but I did this performance is on me and that's why I put it at number one."
Thanks to this weekly title, Van den Boogaard may also compete in Champions Week early next month, where all the weekly winners will compete against each other. "But I don't want to think about that yet, let me celebrate this title first. I also want to thank my family for their support, especially my girlfriend who is always there for me."

- Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.
UndartedWaters18-11-2024 - Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.UndartedWaters16-11-2024
