Damon Heta warmed up for Australia’s World Cup of Darts title defence with victory in Tuesday’s Players Championship 14 final in Hildesheim.
Heta, who will aim to defend the World Cup crown alongside Simon Whitlock in Frankfurt from June 15-18, dispatched Luke Woodhouse 8-2 to claim his seventh PDC title at Halle 39 on Tuesday.
The Australian number one wasn’t at his blistering best in the sweltering Hildesheim heat, but he brushed aside Woodhouse in the afternoon’s showpiece to secure his first ranking title of 2023.
