Wright produces dominant display to down Humphries in Players Championship 16 final to end PDC Super Series 4

Peter Wright has ended the latest iteration of the PDC Super Series with another title to add to his collection after an 8-4 win over Luke Humphries in the final who reached his fourth title match this year to no avail in Milton Keynes.

Wright joins Joe Cullen and a double from Jose de Sousa this week which is his 36th PDC title in all with a second this year on the PDC ProTour hitting a 109 average in victory over 'Cool Hand Luke'.

This comes after a poor start to the week with early exits to Maik Kuivenhoven and Josh Payne before a Quarter-Final yesterday and getting over the line on Thursday.

Wright was on the mark early in the final hitting a 180 and 80 for an immediate break of throw. He doubled his advantage by consolidating that with double 10.

A break was there was once more as he hit back-to-back 180's and finished with double 20 as he looked to leave Humphries in the dust at 3-0 up.

But he missed three darts at double to consolidate the break and Humphries took out 84 to reduce the deficit to 3-1 before holding from there.

A hold saw Wright reimplement a two leg cushion with an 88 checkout on double 14 at 4-2 up. It was a three leg cushion at 5-2 with an average of only 114.

He held throw from there as he headed further towards the title with a 63 checkout on double six.

A seventh 180 aimed to pressure Humphries who was on double two but he kept cool and held throw to go 6-3 down.

He was under pressure to hit the 170 with Humphries on 116 but Humphries could not get a shot. Wright though couldn't grab a 118 checkout and Humphries stayed alive with a break as he went 6-4 down.

He faltered though on his throw and Wright was first to a finish and left 50 to break back immediately and go one away at 7-4 up.

A 180 started Wright's throw which he followed up with a 131 as he aimed to snatch any late opportunity away from Humphries. That he did as he missed double five for a 130 checkout but Humphries couldn't trouble 121 and Wright returned for the victory.
