PDC staged the BST Hyde Park Championship and Pro-Am for a second straight year, and Luke Humphries enjoyed double success on a scorching-hot day in London.
The first order of business was left to the professionals, and after Humphries had got past Fallon Sherrock, Stephen Bunting joined ‘Cool Hand’ in the final with a straightforward 5-1 win against Nathan Aspinall.
It would be Humphries that would be crowned champion once again, as he was in 2025, as he eased to a 5-2 victory over ‘The Bullet’ in the showpiece.
With the crowd warmed up in more ways than one, the celebrity guests entered the fray, and Humphries doubled his title tally on the night, as he teamed up with Sky Sports’ Emma Paton to take down the Pro-Am trophy.
The duo made the final with a 2-0 win against reigning Champions Fallon Sherrock and Joe Swash of Eastenders fame, and their opponents for the title would be Nathan Aspinall and Social Media influencer Behzinga, who took care of the partnership of Stephen Bunting and TV presenter AJ Odudu by a 2-1 scoreline, with Aspinall pinning double 16 to complete the job.
Paton did her share in securing the silverware in the final, as she found tops to give her and Humphries a 1-0 lead. Although Aspinall and Behzinga forced a final leg, Humphries took out 57 to seal a clean sweep on the day for the World number two.
It was another fun event enjoyed by all in the Capital, and it will no doubt return for 2027.
