Jonny Clayton secured his second Interwetten Austrian Darts Open championship title.

In-form Jonny Clayton ended his European Tour title drought at the Austrian Darts Open with a dramatic 8-6 win over Josh Rock.

Clayton claimed his first European Tour title since 2018 after defeating Josh Rock to clinch his second Interwetten Austrian Darts Open crown on a remarkable day of drama in Graz.

The Welshman returned to the winner's circle in spectacular style in Graz, overcoming Rock in a high-quality contest to secure his first PDC ranking title since October 2021.

Clayton commenced his campaign with a deciding-leg victory over Jelle Klaasen on Saturday, before averaging 106 in his Last 16 clash against Damon Heta, sealing his progress with a magnificent 161 checkout.

Rock, meanwhile, made history on his run to a maiden European Tour final, whitewashing reigning champion Michael van Gerwen to inflict the Dutchman's first defeat at this event since 2016.
