Ross Montgomery and Aileen de Graaf win the Winmau Sponsored Dutch Open

Ross Montgomery and Aileen de Graaf won the 36th edition of the Dutch Open Darts. For Ross the Boss it is his second major win on Dutch soil after winning the Zuiderduin Masters some years ago. Aileen de Graaf takes the title exactly 10 years after the last Dutch title was won by Francis Hoenselaar. A packed venue at ^the Bonte Wever^ in Assen in the North of the Netherlands with enthusiastic fans witnessed the matches. 

Scotland^s Ross Montgomery could barely control his emotions after the winning dart, very happy with his achievement. Waites did not manage to put his name among the two times consecutive winners of the event after Martin did this in 2010 and 2011. Ross "the Boss" took the ranking points, the trophy and the €5000,- back to his hometown Greenhills in Schotland. 

Aileen de Graaf from the idyllic town Bunschoten-Spakenburg showed that she is part of the World top ladies players. She already won the 2013 Zuiderduin Masters. In an incredible exciting ladies final it looked as if her opponent would walk away with an easy win and a third title after 2005 and 2008 wins. From 4-2 up, missing matchdarts in three consecutive legs it was Aileen who took advantage on all three occasions. De Graaf earns with this win ranking points and the cheque of €2250,-. 

On Friday the tournament started with the pairs event and it was concluded the same day. Out of the 1012 contenders it was the English pair Richie George and Scott Mitchell who took the main prize. The ladies title went to the Russian/English pair Anastasia Dobromyslova/Lorraine Farlam. 

On Saturday 2434 men and 279 ladies played their matches in the singles event. On Sunday the singles were concluded and also the youth played their event. An impressive amount of 375 youth players. The youth finales were also played on the main stage in front of 2800 enthusiastic spectators.
