Ross Smith claimed his second major PDC title by defeating Gerwyn Price 11-5 in the World Series of Darts Finals in Amsterdam. The victory marks a significant achievement for the Englishman, who delivered a dominant performance when it mattered most against the two-time former winner.
Dramatic Second-Half Rally
The final remained competitive through the opening stages, with both players locked together at 5-5. However, Smith shifted momentum decisively in his favour during the closing frames, executing a series of back-to-back high checkouts that proved too much for Price to handle. The clinical finishing from Smith sealed the trophy and the accompanying £100,000 prize.
Smith’s reaction to the triumph reflected the magnitude of his achievement. “Honestly, I am made up with the win. I am just so happy,” the victor said, capturing the emotion of claiming such a prestigious title on the PDC circuit.
The World Series of Darts Finals victory joins Smith’s previous major title, establishing him as a significant force within professional darts. His ability to recover from the mid-match tie and impose his game in the decisive stages demonstrated the quality required to win at this level of competition.
