DPA Australian Grand Prix Season

SHANE TICHOWITSCH and John Webber shared the spoils on the second weekend of the DPA Australian Grand Prix season at the Mittagong RSL.
Webber came through the field to win Saturday's opening event of the double-header, enjoying victories in the knockout phase over experienced Russell Stewart, Jerry Weyman, Aaron Petty and Jeremy Fagg as he reached the final.

There, he edged out left-hander Tichowitsch 6-5 to claim victory, although the Queenslander would go all the way to victory 24 hours later.

Tichowitsch, a former World Championship qualifier, defeated Don Whittington, Dave Muller, Robbie King and Lindsay Wells on Sunday before taking a 6-3 victory over Bill Aitken in the final.

Wells reached both semi-finals over the weekend in a strong run in southern New South Wales, but last year's Australian Grand Prix champion Kyle Anderson - a recent PDC Tour Card winner - suffered a narrow last 32 defeat to Dave Muller on Saturday.

Anderson is now set to move to the UK to base himself in Nottingham after securing sponsorship from Protege Events to compete full-time on the PDC ProTour, following his success in hitting a nine-darter at the World Championship in December and his recent Tour Card win at Qualifying School.
