Cameron Menzies claimed his second PDC ranking title at Players Championship 11 in Leicester on Tuesday, defeating Peter Wright in a high-quality final.
Menzies produced a stunning 107.25 average to run out an 8-3 winner in the all-Scottish final to double his title tally, just over five months on from his maiden ProTour title success.
Having come runner-up in two Players Championship event finals already in 2025, Menzies fine form was finally rewarded with a title at the Mattioli Arena.
"This means a lot to me because it proves the title I won last year wasn't by luck," said Menzies.
"I know how well I've been playing and I wouldn't have been disheartened if I hadn't won another title because my two previous years on tour have been nowhere near this standard.
"I'm leaving my job soon to take up darts full-time; I'm not as good as I'd like to be yet, but I'm heading in the right direction."
Menzies began the day with wins over Viktor Tingstrom, Connor Scutt and Steve Lennon, before seeing off Max Hopp in the last 16.
The 2024 Grand Slam of Darts quarter-finalist defeated Matthew Dennant in the last eight, before overcoming Niels Zonneveld to reach the final.
A magnificent 146 checkout from Menzies saw him open up a 4-1 lead over Wright, with the two-time World Champion unable to mount a comeback despite averaging 103.45.
Wright's wait for a first Players Championship title since February 2022 continues, though the veteran produced a string of impressive displays to reach the final, including a 105.88 average in a 7-5 semi-final win over Gary Anderson.
The first round of Players Championship 11 saw a number of high-profile early exits, with Luke Littler, Michael van Gerwen and Gerwyn Price crashing out in the first round, while Luke Humphries exited in round two.
The PDC ProTour season continues with Players Championship 12 in Leicester on Wednesday, with coverage from four streaming boards broadcast live through PDCTV.
