North American Mawson return to the Portsmouth Live Lounge after some encouraging results on the Championship Darts Circuit in the USA and Canada. The Canadian born Mawson, who now represents the USA, is a former UK Open finalist but had suffered something of a dearth of titles until the end of August at the Winmau Darts Challenge title in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois. Gary defeated current USA form guy Adam Sevada in the final and has risen to sixth on the CDC’s two year order of merit.
