Gary Anderson won the Players Championship Seven in Hildesheim, beating surprise finalist Adam Lipscombe, earning him the 30-year ranking title of his career.

The 54-year-old Scots two-time world champion put an end to an eight-month search for more silverware in Germany by defeating the Englishman 8-3.

Anderson spoke to PDC. “I’ve had a difficult few months,” he said on Tv. It’s nice to win one because I’ve been struggling since December.

Before a strong semi-final win over Mike de Decker, the Scot had a strong lead in the opening two rounds but needed a final-leg decider to defeat Krzysztof Ratajski in the final eight.

Lipscombe’s defeat prevented him from achieving a fairytale result in his eighth tournament since receiving his tour card at the start of the year.

In the semi-finals, he defeated Dirk van Duijvenbode 7-4 after beating William O’Connor 6-4 in the final eight.
