Niels Zonneveld won his first senior PDC title with an 8-5 victory over Danny Noppert in the Dutch Darts Championship final on Sunday.

An entertaining all-Dutch final in Maastricht saw a tight contest with the score locked at 2-2 before Zonneveld won three successive legs to pull away.

Noppert responded to close the gap to 5-4 but Zonneveld regained control and won back-to-back legs - including a checkout of 157 - to earn a 7-4 lead.

Despite a tough battle against Noppert, Zonneveld was then able to see the match out with a 81 checkout, hitting double three to seal the title.
