WAYNE MARDLE returned to form in style to win a deciding final leg and take the PDC Pro Tour's Peachtree Open title in Atlanta on Sunday night with a win over James Wade.

Mardle twice came from a set down in the decider of the event, with Wade winning the first and third sets against the throw.

Wade also led 1-0 in the decider and missed two match darts in the next leg before Mardle levelled the set and then took the £5,000 winner's cheque.

Mardle had also sailed close to the wind in the semi-finals, allowing a two-set lead to slip in the semi-finals as Denis Ovens hit back to 2-2 and take their game all the way.

Wade, the Stan James World Matchplay champion, had defeated Vincent van der Voort 3-0 in the semis.
