"It's a really good win for me," said Wright. "It was always going to be close with Jose because he's one of the best players in the world at the moment.
"He's not been on the circuit long, but he's amazing. He's a lovely guy as well, so relaxed and laid back and we have a little bit of banter."
Wright added: "I changed my darts a couple of times today. I did it in the semi-finals against Joe Cullen to have a bit of a longer point - I had to change something because they weren't coming down."
