Cameron Menzies claimed a maiden PDC ranking title at Players Championship 29 with an 8-4 victory over Stephen Bunting in Leicester on Wednesday.

Having finished runner-up in Players Championship 19 in August, Menzies went one better at the Mattioli Arena as he clinched the £15,000 top prize on a memorable day for the Scot.

The 35-year-old enjoyed the highlight of a landmark season in his career so far as he defeated six televised title winners en route to glory, which moves him into the world’s top 40.

“I’ve won a ProTour, and nobody can ever take that away from me,” said an emotional Menzies.

“I wanted to win this title so much; I’m absolutely buzzing. This means so much to me.

“At one stage I never thought I was good enough to win a ProTour, but I believe right now I’m playing the best darts of my life.

“I’m playing against the best players in the world here, and I feel when I’m on my game, I can match them, and I never thought I’d be able to do that.

“Hopefully this is a stepping stone to winning a major like Ritchie Edhouse and Mike De Decker have done recently.”

The enigmatic Scotsman started the day by defeating Jose De Sousa 6-3, before averaging 101.5 in a 6-1 rout of Frenchman Jacques Labre.

His best performance of the day came in the Last 32 against Rob Cross, where he averaged 107.7 in a 6-3 success, before battling back from from 5-3 down to edge out Krzysztof Ratajski in a deciding leg.

Menzies then comfortably dispatched James Wade 6-2 in the quarter-finals before demolishing Danny Noppert 7-1 in the semis with a 99 average.

Menzies made a strong start to the final, producing back-to-back 78 and 86 checkouts to establish a two-leg lead, only for Bunting to respond with a blistering burst of his own.

The Masters champion missed double 12 for a nine-darter in leg five, but legs of 11 and 12 darts saw him level at three apiece, before Menzies replied with another three-leg blitz to move 6-3 ahead.

Bunting reduced the arrears with a 120 finish in leg ten, but he was unable to launch a late fightback, with Menzies punishing a flurry of late missed doubles to seal victory.

Bunting was remarkably featuring in his sixth Players Championship final of the year and was forced to settle for second prize once again.

The Masters champion averaged 104 in his first round win over Danny Lauby, which he followed with impressive wins over Darryl Pilgrim and Connor Scutt.

Bunting then thrashed World Grand Prix champion Mike De Decker 6-1 in the Last 16, and after edging out Damon Heta 6-5 in the quarter-finals from 5-2 down, he powered past Dutch ace Chris Landman 7-2 in the semi-finals.

Landman moved into the provisional World Championship qualification places courtesy his run to the semis, which included a sensational nine-dart finish in his Last 16 win over Ross Smith.

Callan Rydz and Ricardo Pietreczko joined Landman in landing nine-darters on an action-packed day in Leicester, achieving perfection in their wins over Keane Barry and Radek Szaganski respectively.

The 2024 PDC ProTour season concludes on Thursday with Players Championship 30, as the race to qualify for the Players Championship Finals reaches its climax.
