Ryan Searle claimed the title at Players Championship 4, beating Cameron Menzies 8-3 in an impressive final at the 2025 Pro Tour event in Rosmalen, Netherlands. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The win marks Searle\u2019s seventh career darts<\/a> Pro Tour title and his first in this year’s series, making it a standout achievement in his career.<\/p>\n

Searle Defeats Menzies in the Final<\/h2>\n

The final was a thrilling contest between two in-form players, with Menzies getting off to a strong start, having held his throw with a solid 12-dart leg in the opening round and following it up with a 15-darter.<\/p>\n

However, Searle soon found his rhythm, levelling the match with a brilliant 96 checkout in the fourth leg.<\/p>\n

The turning point came in leg five when Searle broke Menzies\u2019 throw with a 13-dart leg.<\/p>\n

From there, Searle gained momentum, hitting two 180s in the next leg to take a 4-2 lead. Menzies held his throw in the seventh leg, but Searle restored his two-leg advantage immediately after, going 5-3 ahead.<\/p>\n

Searle then broke throw to make it 6-3, moving closer to the finish line, before sealing the deal with a precise double top in the 11th leg to win 8-3.<\/p>\n

Ryan Searle’s Road to Victory<\/h2>\n

“Heavy Metal” began the tournament with a dominant 6-0 victory over Florian Hempel, followed by a 6-2 win over Mensur Suljovic.<\/p>\n

The 37-year-old continued his march to the final with victories over Owen Bates (6-1), Mickey Mansell (6-5), William O’Connor (6-4), and Stefan Bellmont (7-6).<\/p>\n

Searle\u2019s consistency throughout the event was a key factor in his victory, before averaging a solid 100.76 in the final.<\/p>\n

Cameron Menzies\u2019 Strong Performance<\/h2>\n

While Searle took the top prize, Cameron Menzies also put in a stellar performance to reach his third Players Championship final.<\/p>\n

The Scotsman made his way to the final by overcoming several tricky opponents, including a 6-5 win over Jos\u00e9 de Sousa and a 6-3 victory over World No. 5 Stephen Bunting.<\/p>\n

Menzies was in excellent form, particularly during his 6-3 win over James Wade in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n

Despite his strong start in the final, Menzies couldn’t maintain his momentum against Searle, and he ultimately fell short at 3-8.<\/p>\n
