Ian White wist op zondag zijn eerste titel van 2020 te pakken door in de finale van Players Championship 8 James Wade met 8-3 te verslaan.
Ian White was extreem constant gedurende het toernooi. In zes van de zeven wedstrijden die hij speelde haalde hij een gemiddelde van boven de 100 punten. Ook gooide hij 111,3 gemiddeld in zijn overwinningop John Henderson bij de laatste 32.
WHITE: "I've been playing good darts through the year but not been getting the luck, so this title has been coming,
The form is coming on, I've had a few problems but I'm sorting myself out and everything is going well.
A couple of weeks ago Peter Wright was hitting lots of 100-plus averages so that spurred me on to keep up with him.
Everyone goes on about my TV form not being as good as my ProTour form but I play good darts on the TV stages, I've hit a few averages over 100.
I've just run into top class players at their best a few times, I just think I've been unlucky.
My heads on this year and I want to stay in that top ten."
