McEwan grabs Challenge Tour event.

Jim McEwan was victorious on Sunday, in winning his 2^nd PDC Challenge Tour title of his career, after defeating Stephen Burton in the decider, as the opening weekend of the PDC’s second-tier tour season came to a close in Milton Keynes.

Scotland’s McEwan, who picked up his 1^st Challenge Tour title in 2021, dropped just nine legs in reaching the decider on Sunday, after recording victories over Kevin Garcia, Nathan Treadgold, Jelle Klaasen, Will Harwood, Colin Osborne, Steven Noster and Darren Penhall, to set up a clash with Stephen Burton.

The Scottish thrower put in his best average of the day and didn’t give Burton a sniff, in whitewashing him 5-0, with winning legs coming in 17,14,16,14 and 16 darts respectively, to pick up the £2,000 1^st prize and sits 2^nd in the Challenge Tour Order of Merit, behind Scott Williams, who picked up the opening two events on Friday.
