Canadian Jeff Smith, who won his way back to the pro darts tour last month, made it to the final in his first event.
The 44-year-old from Saint John, N.B., lost 8-4 to former world champion Gary Anderson at the Players Championship 1 on Saturday.
Anderson raced into a 6-2 lead before Smith, who was competing in his first Players Championship event since 2013, fought back to 6-4. Anderson did not buckle, however, winning his first PDC ranking title since the 2018 World Matchplay.
Smith won his tour card last month at the 2020 PDC Qualifying Schools in Wigan.
