Dirk Van Duijvenbode claimed his maiden PDC ranking title on Day Three of PDC Super Series 3.
Van Duijvenbode came through a hard fought win over compatriot Martijn Kleermaker but admitted afterwards that nerves played a factor and that he didn’t expect to claim the title after recent form.
"We were both nervous," said Van Duijvenbode. "When I thought I could finish it, I was more nervous than him, and then when he needed to stay in it he was more nervous.
"I was in great form the last two series and thought I would win a title but I didn't. The last two days I have been poor, so I went into today just hoping I would win the first round.
"On the one side I know I need to play better, but on the other it is great to win when not playing your best.
"Sometimes you have to win on a bad day, but I always want to play well and that is what I think about - and then it all comes together."

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
