Robert Thornton has also won the second edition of the World Seniors Darts Championship. 'The Thorn' beat Richie Howson in the final.
There was no measure to the Scot throughout the entire tournament.
Thornton only gave up one set on his way to the final.
He dealt successively with Roland Scholten (3-0), Scott Mitchell (3-0), Neil Duff (3-1) and Kevin Painter (3-0).
In the final, the Scottish darts player quickly took control.
He took the first set from Howson (3-1) and then kept his own set 3-0.
Thornton then broke Howson again in the third set (3-2), but then surrendered his own set 3-1.
But it was no longer exciting. Thornton took the fifth set, after which Howson narrowed the gap again by taking the sixth set.
It turned out to be a stay of execution, as with a 73 finish in the fifth leg of set seven, Thornton captured the senior world title at the Circus Tavern in Purfleet.
