DOVER'S Ross Smith celebrated one of the most dominant Players Championship victories ever seen last week, landing two nine-dart finishes on his way to a record-breaking triumph in Hildesheim.
-
Former European champion Smith shattered a number of records in securing his sixth PDC ranking title, winning 24 consecutive legs to seal his fifth Players Championship crown.
Smith also became just the third player - along with Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen - to land multiple nine-darters in the same Players Championship event.
The 36-year-old achieved perfection in his opening round tie against Dylan Slevin, before repeating those heroics in his last 16 clash against Chris Landman.
