The final saw ‘The Sniper’ dominate the entirety of the tie, as he whitewashed Horvat, 5-0, with winning legs coming in 16,14,16,19 and 15 darts respectively, to pick up a maiden PDC title as well as the £2,500 top prize. 

In Event 14, Justin Hood was victorious, as he reached the final firstly by recording victories against Reece Robinson, Ben Adams, Jamie Atkins, Michel Unterbuchner, Chris Hurds, Jarno Bottenberg and Christian Kist, to set up a clash with Dragutin Horvat.  

The final began with Hood racing into a 2-0 lead with winning legs coming in 13 and 12 darts respectively, before Horvat halved the deficit in Leg Three with a 15 dart hold of throw, which ultimately turned out to be his only leg won in the tie.
