Anderson beats Lipscombe to secure 30th career title
Gary Anderson claimed the 30th ranking title of this career by beating surprise finalist Adam Lipscombe to win the Players Championship Seven at Hildesheim.
The 54-year-old Scottish two-time world champion defeated the Englishman 8-3 in Germany to end an eight-month wait for more silverware.
Anderson told pdc.tv: "The last few months have been hard for me. I've been struggling since December, so it's nice to win one."
The Scot had romped through the early rounds but required a final-leg decider to edge Krzysztof Ratajski in the last eight before a solid semi-final win over Mike de Decker.
Lipscombe's loss denied him a fairytale finish in what was only his eighth tournament since securing his tour card at the start of the year.
He beat William O'Connor 6-4 in the last eight before claiming a superb 7-4 win over Dirk van Duijvenbode in the semi-finals.
O'Connor and Van Duijvenbode were two of three players to land nine-dart finishes in the earlier rounds in Monday, along with Ryan Searle in the opening leg of his match against Joshua Richardson.
