SIMON WHITLOCK has won the Australian Singles title, defeating Rob Modra 6-1 to claim back-to-back wins over the weekend.
The Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship finalist claimed victory in Saturday's Unanderra Hotel Open, and repeated the feat to take home the $1,000 first prize 24 hours later.
Having won a tough group which included Russell Stewart and Shane Tichowitsch, Whitlock defeated Craig Prizeman 6-3 in the last 16 and Mike Merz 6-2 in the quarter-finals.
He overcame Bill Aitken 6-1 in the semi-finals, before repeating the score against Modra in the final to claim his third title in four events this year.
Whitlock will now return to England for the start of the Whyte & Mackay Premier League Darts at The O2 on Thursday, where he takes on Phil Taylor.
Modra showed fine form in reaching the final, dropping only four legs in the knockout phase in victories over Pat Orreal, Jerry Weyman and Aaron Petty.
