Viljanen Remains Unbeaten On PDCNB Tour

Kim Viljanen (Lawrence Lustig, PDC)

KIM VILJANEN remains unbeaten following four events of the PDC Nordic & Baltic season following his two wins in Gothenburg, where Ulf Ceder, Magnus Caris and Marko Kantele won European Tour Qualifiers.

Viljanen followed up his wins on the opening weekend in February by taking another pair of titles as the PDCNB tour visited Sweden.

He firstly defeated Daniel Larsson in the Event Three final, before overcoming Ricky Nauman 24 hours later in the Event Four decider.

Sweden's Magnus Caris was a semi-finalist on both days, while Finland's Marko Kantele reached one semi-final and one quarter-final, and Larsson followed up his run to the Event Three final with a quarter-final appearance in Event Four.

The weekend also featured the PDCNB Qualifiers for European Tour events four-six.

Ulf Ceder defeated Kantele 6-1 in the final of the ET4 Qualifier to win a spot in the HappyBet European Darts Grand Prix in Sindelfingen, Caris overcame Kantele 6-4 to qualify for the Gibraltar Darts Trophy.

Kantele then bounced back from those losss to secure a spot in the HappyBet European Darts Matchplay in Hamburg in June.

In a change to the original PDCNB dates for 2017, the next ProTour weekend has been brought forward by a week and will be held from May 19-21 in Oslo, Norway.

The weekend will feature the European Tour Qualifiers for ET7-9, plus ProTour Event Five and Event Six.
