In an exciting final of the PDC European Darts Grand Prix held in Sindelfingen, Germany, Gary Anderson defeated Ross Smith. Scotland's Anderson, aged 53, triumphed 8-6 to clinch his first European Tour title in ten years.
This victory came after his return to the European Tour, having ended a seven-year hiatus in 2023. Anderson reflected on his win, stating:
"It's been a very long time. Wherever you go now, people want to play darts and watch darts. These crowds are incredible. I don't know how I've won it tonight. My last three games I've never been as lucky in darts."
The final was closely contested, with both players battling to find their best form. The match was evenly poised at 6-6 when Anderson, a two-time world champion, scored a crucial 121 checkout to break Smith's throw and move within one leg of victory.
England's Smith had a chance to respond but missed seven crucial darts, which allowed Anderson to secure the win with a final score of 43, preventing Smith from winning his first European Tour title.
