Wright, 51, averaged almost 106 and established a commanding 8-2 lead before sealing an 18-9 victory.The Scot, who won the PDC World Championship in 2020, also collected £150,000 in prize money. "He missed a lot of doubles and let me in, otherwise it was very difficult to get this off of him," Wright said.
