Michael van Gerwen saw off fellow Dutchman Gian van Veen in a thrilling final to claim the Hungarian Darts Trophy in Budapest.
Van Gerwen emerged with an 8-7 victory at MVM Dome after Van Veen, 22, missed a match dart, falling just short of securing a maiden senior PDC title.
It was a 37th European Tour win for three-time world champion Van Gerwen, 16 months on from his 36th at the Belgian Darts Trophy.
It was also a second title in five days, having won a Players Championship on Wednesday.
The 35-year-old said in quotes on pdc.tv: “This was really important – I had to battle really hard.
“I was struggling in the final and Gian took advantage, but I was more battling with myself. The crowd gave me so much energy and to give them something back, I’m over the moon.
“I think I’m on the right way, especially with my new darts. I missed the winning feeling for a long time but now everything falls into place.
“I want to win more and my love for the game is still there. I need to make sure I keep this momentum going.”
After landing a nine-darter on Saturday, during his second-round win over Martin Lukeman, Van Gerwen on Sunday defeated Gabriel Clemens, Josh Rock and then Ross Smith en route to taking on Van Veen in the final.
Van Gerwen led 3-1 and 5-4 before his opponent moved ahead 6-5 and then 7-6.
But Van Veen then missed the bullseye for the match, and Van Gerwen took full advantage, going on to take the deciding leg with a 110 checkout.

We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.

The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
