Phil Taylor clinched his fifth Grand Slam of Darts crown
as he comprehensively beat Robert Thornton 16-6 in Sunday's final at
Wolverhampton's Civic Hall.
Taylor did not hit the heights reached in his epic
semi-final victory over Adrian Lewis earlier in the day, but did not have to as
he built an early lead over Thornton which the Scot never looked like
retrieving.
Indeed, having hit 14 maximums against Lewis, Taylor
managed just two in the final as he finished with a three-dart average of 98,
but he still had far too much for Thornton.
