Never been so high up in Sweden before but it was a Swedish ranking tournament so I had to go. I'm glad I did. I had a really good time. Nice people, good place for playing darts. But the best thing was that I won the mens single. Won the semi-final against my double partner Dennis Nilsson with 4-3. We were not supposed to meet until the final, because he was seeded number 1 and I number 2. Lost my position in the pool game were I lost one game.

The final was played on stage and it was best of 9 legs. I started the first leg but I missed a 15 darter so my opponent Rainer Maanikka took it out on 15. Second leg I had 161 after 9 darts but he took it out on 12. Good darts but I was 2 down. It was time to change the game and I did. The next 4 legs were mine and I was in the lead 4-2. He got 4-3 before I ended the game with a 15 darter. I got 32 ranking points and I got a little closer to Winmau World Masters.

 

The mens pairs we lost in the semi-final, not much to say about that.
