DOBEY DEFEATS RESURGENT KLAASEN TO CLINCH PC3 TITLE IN ROSMALEN

Chris Dobey continued his terrific ProTour form with a dominant 8-4 victory over Jelle Klaasen in Monday's Players Championship 3 final.

Following wins for Rob Cross and Gerwyn Price in last week’s double-header, Dobey became the latest BetMGM Premier League star to triumph on the ProTour in 2025.

The former Masters champion was runner-up to Price in Event Two last Tuesday, but he returned to winning ways with victory over a resurgent Klaasen at the Autotron in Rosmalen.

Dobey made a magnificent start to Monday’s showpiece, producing legs of 11 and 13 darts to seize the early initiative, before Klaasen found his range to reduce the arrears to 4-3.

However, after the Dutchman wired tops for a 113 finish to restore parity, Dobey followed up a crucial hold in leg eight with a 110 checkout to establish clear daylight at 6-3.

Klaasen preserved his slender hopes with a 112 finish in leg 11, although Dobey thwarted any hopes of a fightback by following up his second maximum with a clinical 80 kill on tops to wrap up victory.
