BENITO VAN DE PAS claimed his first PDC Unicorn Challenge Tour title thanks to a 4-2 victory in the final over Scotland’s Richard Baillie at the Robin Park Tennis Centre in Wigan.
Van de Pas, who reached the final of the first of yesterday’s double-header of events before losing to Ross Smith, went one better on Sunday as he claimed the £500 first prize.
The 20-year-old from Tilburg, Netherlands, began his run to a first Challenge Tour victory with a brace of 4-1 victories over John Bryan and Keegan Brown.
Van de Pas then recorded an excellent 4-2 win over fellow Dutchman Jan Dekker, before cruising through the last four thanks to whitewash wins over Stuart Bousfield and Ben Ward.
The Dutchman defeated Welshman Kurt Parry by a 4-2 margin before recording the same scoreline to overcome Baillie in the decider.
Bailie, who recorded his best performance on the PDC Unicorn Challenge Tour with a run to the semi-finals on Saturday, improved on that just 24 hours later with a superb run to the final.
The 24-year-old from Glasgow started confidently with a 4-0 victory over Ryan De Vreede before claiming narrow wins over Jack Tweddell and Dirk van Duijvenbode to progress to the last 16.
Baillie then produced impressive darts as he overcame a trio of former Youth Tour winners in the shape of Jamie Lewis, Chris Aubrey and Reece Robinson to reach his first final.
The Scottish thrower found van de Pas too strong as he lost the final 4-2, but walked away with the runner-up prize of £300 to add to his cheque of £200 for reaching the last four, on Saturday.
Robinson, the highly- rated youngster from Hull, recorded his best performance on the PDC Unicorn Challenge Tour so far in 2013 as he put together a run to the semi-finals.
The PDC Tour Card holder, who turns 21 on Wednesday, defeated Northamptonshire’s Ricky Evans in the last 16 and the South African Charl Pietersen in the last eight, before losing 4-2 in the semi-finals to the excellent Baillie.
The PDC Unicorn Challenge Tour will continue at the Barnsley Metrodome during the weekend of July 13-14, where the next three events will be contested, each with £3,000 in prize money on offer.
