Damon Heta heeft zijn eerste PDC Pro Tour titel weten te winnen op de tweede dag van de PDC Autumn Series. Hij versloeg Joe Cullen met 8-4 in de finale.
De Australiër die zijn bekendheid vooral te danken heeft aan zijn overwinning op de Brisbane Darts Masters in 2019 won tijdens het toernooi onder andere van Michael van Gerwen en de nieuwe World Matchplay kampioen Dimitri van den Bergh.
HETA: "I am stoked - this win today means more than anything to me. Don't get me wrong my other achievements are amazing to me, but this means ranking points towards everything else,
The World Series win was those top guys coming to my territory, and this is me coming into theirs and winning out of 128 of the best players.
I thought it was a matter of time for me. I've played so well the whole time and yet might not make it past the second round - but that is what the PDC is all about.
I may not have played some great darts today but it is all about winning, and I won those tough games and that kept me going.''
