Clark Wins Open Holland Singles

MATT CLARK won Sunday's non-ranked Open Holland, defeating Peter Manley in the final.

Clark, the runner-up to Andy Hamilton in the recent Antwerp Open Mens Singles, went one better to take Sunday's title with a 3-1 sets victory against Manley.

Clark knocked out Michael van Gerwen in the last 32, and also overcame Denis Ovens and Andy Smith on his way to victory.

Manley defeated Ronnie Baxter 6-3 in the semis and Alan Tabern in the last eight, as well as Dutch duo Danny de Haas and Joey ten Berge in the earlier rounds.

Terry Jenkins and Kevin McDine were other quarter-final losers, while Hamilton's bid for another Continental win was ended by McDine in a deciding leg at the last 16 stage.
