Prior to the big stuff at the
Dutch Open Darts, there was a warm-up tournament on Thursday for the men and ladies. Luitzen Elzinga and
Noa-Lynn van Leuven emerged winners there.
The men's tournament was surprisingly won by Elzinga. With victories over Roemer Mooijman (3-2), Daan Bastiaansen (3-1) and Wesley Plaisier (4-3) among others, he qualified for the final match. In the final Elzinga proved too strong for Tonny Veenhof (5-2).
Van Leuven conceded only four legs in her six matches until the final. Only Lerena Rietbergen came close, but lost 3-2 to the Dutchwoman. Van Leuven eventually prevailed in the final 4-2 against Sabrina Dikhoff-Jongenotter.
