Comeback Win for Winmau's Eccles
RenFrew, Scotland
- England's Tony Eccles saw off over 2000 competitors to win the Scottish
Open by 5- 3 from Robbie Green in the final.
Tony rounded off
his return to the BDO with a superb display that saw him edge past many top
players including Stephen Bunting, Martin McCloskey and Barry Copeland.
"It was an
extremely tough day as the standard was so high in every round, but I managed
to keep my nerve and I’m delighted with the win," Eccles said. "With
the slate wiped clean at the start of every year, it's great to be back in the
BDO and I'm really looking forward to trying to qualify for the major events
this year".
42 year old Eccles
takes home a £2250.00 cheque with his 10th career BDO win and first major
victory since the Norway Open in 2007.
