Glen Durrant heeft zijn eerste PDC Major titel gewonnen nadat hij op donderdagavond Nathan Aspinall versloeg in de finale van de Unibet Premier League.

 

Durrant is nu de eerste debutant die het toernooi weet te winnen nadat Michael van Gerwen dit deed in 2013.

 

De 49-jarige had al geschiedenis geschreven door de League-fase te winnen, dit was eerder alleen nog gedaan door Phil Taylor en Michael van Gerwen.

 

DURRANT: "It's unbelievable. This supersedes everything I've achieved before.

Tonight I feel like the best player in the world and I've never had that feeling before.

I'm feeling absolutely fantastic, I'm ecstatic. This means an awful lot to my family, friends and supporters.

It's a mammoth achievement and it makes my move over to the PDC worthwhile.

The game against Gary will go down as one of the worst games in Premier League Play-Offs history but I knew I couldn't play that badly twice.

I stepped my game up massively for the final and I knew I had to to beat Nathan, who is a consummate professional and will go on to achieve many great things in darts."
