Daryl Gurney heeft zijn eerste vloertoernooi van 2019 gewonnen, hij was de beste op het 25e Players Championship toernooi van het jaar in Barnsley.
De nummer drie van de wereld versloeg Nathan Aspinall met 8-5 in de finale om zijn eerste Players Championship titel te winnen sinds april 2017.
Gurney is de regerend Players Championship Finals kampioen, hij was erg dominant gedurende de dag. Hij won elke wedstrijd met minimaal drie legs verschil.
GURNEY: "It feels too long [since last winning a Players Championship event], I often struggle and don't bring my 'A-game',
This week everything went great for me and I found something extra. I kicked in well with plenty of 180s to give myself opportunities which I took.
These events are harder to win than TV tournaments; you can play an unbelievable game and then you're straight back into your next game just a few minutes later."
