Cameron Menzies from Scotland has claimed his second tournament win of the year by defeating Gian van Veen in the final of the Players Championship 29 in Den Bosch. Menzies, who is ranked 26th in the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC), took an early 5-0 lead against the home favourite, van Veen, who is currently ranked third in the PDC. Menzies eventually won the match 8-4, securing his victory in a tightly contested final.
This win marks the fifth ProTour event Menzies has won in his career, and he expressed his joy, saying, "To go and win another ProTour is awesome. I'm so happy." Menzies has been competing on the PDC tour for five years and is now aiming to build a strong future for himself in the sport. He mentioned that winning a major title and performing well at the World Championship would be significant milestones for him.
Menzies revealed that he has put in more effort into his game this year than ever before. Earlier in the year, he faced a difficult period after damaging his hand when he punched a drinks table in anger following a first-round exit at the World Championship. The incident nearly forced him to quit the sport, but he has since bounced back and is now focused on his career.
In July, Menzies won the Players Championship 23 in Leicester and defeated world number two Luke Humphries in the first round of the World Matchplay. However, he fell ill in his next match, which affected his performance. To reach the final in Den Bosch, Menzies had to defeat several top players, including Kevin Doets, Jeffrey de Graaf, Wessel Nijman, Benjamin Pratnemer, Jim Long, and Nick Kenny, showcasing his consistency and skill throughout the tournament.
