Warm-Up Win For Mighty Mike

MICHAEL VAN GERWEN warmed up for the PDC Pro Tour's Open Holland Masters with a win over Colin Osborne in the Open Holland on Saturday.

The Dutch youngster repeated his victory in the 2006 Open Holland with the 3-1 triumph.

Van Gerwen took the first set of the final, with Osborne edging the next 3-2 before the teenager hit form to win six of the next eight legs and take the title.

He had defeated Wayne Jones 6-2 in the semi-finals, Denis Ovens 5-3 in the quarters as well as Alan Tabern and James Wade earlier in the event.

Osborne overcame Steve Beaton in the semi-finals to follow up earlier wins against Andy Jenkins, Jimmy Mann, Andries Sterk and Andrew Davies.
