JOHN PART came out on top to record a superb home victory in Saturday's London Ontario Players Championship to claim his third PDC Pro Tour title of 2011.
The three-time World Champion defeated top seed Wes Newton 6-4 in the final to continue his superb resurgence of form over the last few months.
The Canadian star had overcome Shawn Brenneman and Mareno Michels by 6-4 scorelines in his opening two matches before ending the challenge of Kevin Painter to reach the quarter-finals.
Part then defeated Peter Wright by a 6-4 scoreline to reach the last four where he defeated Jamie Caven, which included an 11-dart finish to seal a spot in the final after the Derby ace had missed a dart at bullseye to force a deciding leg.
Newton, who has enjoyed a superb 2011 so far in moving into the world's top eight, led the final 3-1 before Part hit back by winning three legs on the trot to take a 4-3 advantage.
Newton won the eighth leg to level at four apiece before Part recorded a 76 finish to lead again and move one leg away from victory.
A 180 in the tenth leg proved decisive for Part and he hit the winning double to take the £6,000 first prize.
Newton's run to his fourth final of the year started with victories against John Patterson, Magnus Caris and Bruce Davey.
The Speedy Hire UK Open runner-up then edged out Justin Pipe 6-5 in the quarter-finals before overcoming Denis Ovens to face Part in the final.
Sunday sees the Canadian Masters Players Championship take place at the Hilton London Ontario in Canada.
