Cross maintained his sparkling form throughout Super Series 8 last week and although he was unable to add another title to his haul, he featured in a remarkable semi-final clash against Chris Dobey at Players Championship 28, losing with a 112.95 average. Curtis was a 500/1 outsider when he enjoyed a shock one-shot victory on the Kent coast, having set the clubhouse target and then watched Thomas Bjorn throw away a three-stroke advantage over the final four holes. There are signs that Huybrechts has turned a corner however. He qualified for this weekend's World Series of Darts Finals with an impressive campaign at a qualifying tournament, and backed it up with semi-final and quarter-final appearances across last week's four-day Super Series.
