Rydz beats Clayton to win first PDC title
Rydz was named PDC Young Player of the Year for 2020, and began the day by coming through a deciding leg against Russian Boris Koltsov, with a ton-plus average.
After beating Ross Smith and Alan Soutar, Rydz put Jeff Smith (6-0) and Ian White (6-1) to the sword before booking his place in the final following a ruthless 7-2 win against last year's Premier League finalist, Nathan Aspinall.
Clayton continued where he left off the previous day and reached the final following wins against the likes of former world number one Michael van Gerwen, Mensur Suljović and Vincent van der Voort.
Rydz began by holding his throw before Clayton won three straight legs, including hitting a 121 checkout to break throw in the third leg.
The Riot responded with three straight legs of his own and after Clayton stopped the run by holding throw, Rydz went on to open up a 6-4 lead.
Clayton turned on the heavy scoring to win the next three legs, but a stunning 127 finish under pressure from Rydz kept the final alive and forced a deciding leg.
The Bedlington ace followed up with an 87 finish in the final leg of the game to secure his first PDC title on the ProTour.
