ROBERT THORNTON claimed back-to-back PDC Pro Tour titles with a 6-2 victory over Dennis Priestley in the Blue Square UK Open Scottish Regional Final on Sunday.
Ayrshire ace Thornton was victorious in Saturday's Scottish Players Championship before taking another £6,000 title the following day.
His success, against Priestley for the second successive day, makes him only the third player - alongside Phil Taylor and Adrian Lewis - to win both events on a PDC Pro Tour weekend.
He defeated Gibraltar's Dylan Duo, John Jenkins and Kevin McDine to reach the last 16, where he edged past Vincent van der Voort 6-5.
He then overcame Steve Maish 6-1 and Mark Webster 6-3 to reach the final, in a repeat of Saturday's decider.
Priestley led in the final with a 13-darter, only for Thornton to hit legs of 11, 12 and 14 darts to lead 3-1, before a 70 checkout put him three legs clear.
A 120 finish from Priestley, with Thornton waiting on 40, cut the gap, but the Scot hit a third 180 of the final in the next as he moved a leg away from the win, which was sealed on double top.
Priestley's run to the final included a 6-4 semi-final win over Colin Osborne, while Jelle Klaasen was defeated 6-1 in the quarter-finals.
The battling Yorkshireman overcame Denis Ovens 6-4 and also had 6-5 wins against practice partner Darren Johnson and Peter Wright during the day as he claimed £3,000 prize money.
Former Lakeside Champion Mark Webster reached his first PDC Pro Tour semi-final, although he had a narrow escape when Anastasia Dobromyslova missed eight darts to win the deciding leg of their third round contest.
Osborne's semi-final appearance was his third on the PDC Pro Tour this year, and included a quarter-final whitewash of Kevin Painter.
Lionel Sams and Steve Maish also reached the last eight, while Swedish newcomer Par Riihonen reached the last 16 for the first time in the PDC.
The third of eight UK Open Regional Finals will take place at Wigan's Robin Park Tennis Centre next Sunday in the second of two PDC Pro Tour events over the weekend.
