Jack Tweddell holds off Mervyn King from second Challenge Tour title

Mervyn King was close Sunday to a second Challenge Tour title this weekend, but it was Jack Tweddell who ran away with the title at the fifteenth event of the season.

For the 30-year-old Englishman, it is his first triumph on the Challenge Tour. He defeated Jim Moston (5-3), Ryan Palmer (5-1), Andreas Harrysson (5-1), Ryan O'Connor (5-3), Alexander Merkx (5-4), Dmitriy Zhukov (5-2) and Colin Osborne (5-1) for a spot in the final.

King made it to the final by defeating Steven Harbert (5-0), Luis Camacho (5-1), David Pallett (5-3), Eddie Lovely (5-4), Sam Spivey (5-3), Shane McGuirk (5-2) and Nathan Girvan (5-0). Then in the final, Tweddell was too strong 5-1 for King, who did win Challenge Tour 11 earlier this weekend.

The Challenge Tour circuit is open to players who participated in the Q-School but did not win a Tour Card. Through the Challenge Tour, the highest ranked players can gain entry to the Players Championship tournaments as alternates. The top two players at the end of the season receive a PDC Tour Card and may compete in the World Darts Championship.
