Chris Dobey Players Championship 32: how the final was won

Dobey won the first three legs of the final in 16, 11 and 14 darts. Morris took leg four with a 14-dart hold, and the match then saw five straight holds of throw before Dobey broke in leg 10 with a 14-darter to lead 7-3.

Morris won one more leg, and Dobey finished the match with a 12-dart leg for a 103 average.

How Dobey reached the final

Dobey, a former Masters champion from Bedlington, averaged 103.15 across his seven matches and recorded the three highest averages of the afternoon. He beat Marvin Kraft in round one, then Owen Bates with a 108.65 average, before 6-2 wins over Mickey Mansell and Bradley Brooks took him into the quarter-finals.

In the quarter-finals he beat Krzysztof Ratajski 6-1 with a 111.12 average. He then beat William O’Connor 7-4 in the semi-finals, with an average of around 109.7.

What Dobey said about his new darts

Dobey said he took the darts out of the wrapper at home the day before he travelled. “I was just saying yesterday I just need a bit of consistency back,” he said.

He said he felt his place at the Players Championship Finals was already safe, so he decided to try them. “I’m just delighted to get another win after recent performances on TV. I’ve had a few struggles, but the doubles were on form today,” he said.

“I know what I’ve got to defend at the World Championship, so I’m looking to dig deep and hopefully get up them rankings again.” He added that he has only one set and asked Target to make more.

Tommy Morris reaches first ranking final

Morris, 34, does not hold a Tour Card and plays on the Challenge Tour. He was bidding to become the sixth player without a Tour Card to win a Pro Tour event, after Joe Murnan, Ratajski, Scott Williams, Wesley Plaisier and Henry Coates.

On his way to his first PDC ranking final he beat Mervyn King, Kim Huybrechts, Michael van Gerwen, Charlie Manby, Michael Smith and Williams, the last of them 7-3 in the semi-finals.

The run all but secures his debut at next month’s Players Championship Finals. He has already qualified for the Paddy Power World Darts Championship through the 2026 Challenge Tour Order of Merit.
