Simon Whitlock clinched his first PDC title of 2014 by winning Players Championship 12 in Coventry on Sunday.
Whitlock defeated James Wade 6-3 in the final, which included a 154 checkout from ‘The Wizard’, as he picked up the £10,000 winner’s check.
The Australian kicked off his run to glory with early victories over Matt Clark and Matt Padgett before defeating Kevin Painter 6-2.
The world number four then saw off Jamie Bain to reach the quarter-finals, where he pipped Ian White 6-5.
In the last four, Whitlock won another last-leg decider to overcome the challenge of an in-form Brendan Dolan, before claiming his 11th Pro Tour triumph with his victory against Wade.
