Fermanagh's Brendan Dolan won the PDC’s Players Championship 10 in Hildesheim on Tuesday afternoon.
The 50-year-old, who lost to Luke Littler in the quarter-final of the World Championship last December, defeated Sweden’s Jeffrey de Graaf in the final.
Dolan, whose last Pro Tour title came in July 2022, beat compatriot Daryl Gurney and Peter Wright on his way to the final in Germany.
The former Grand Slam finalist moves up to 27 in the order of merit after his 8-4 win over first-time finalist De Graaf, during which he averaged 98-14.

Irish players Keane Barry and Willie O’Connor reached the last-32 stage.
"I was really poor in my first couple of matches," Dolan said afterwards.
"The experience got me through in the final. I knew to come out of the blocks strong and not let him settle."
