Michael Smith blows away Nathan Aspinall to claim Grand Slam of Darts title

Michael Smith has been crowned champion of the Grand Slam of Darts, after blowing away fellow Englishman Nathan Aspinall 16-5 in Wolverhampton. Smith put in a remarkable showing to add the Grand Slam crown to his trophy cabinet.

It was 'Bully Boy' who started the stronger, as the world No. 4 broke throw immediately by capitalising on a sloppy opening from Aspinall to ensure he started with the advantage. Looking to build on his quick start, Smith managed to hold the throw across the opening six legs to take a 4-2 advantage.

Things then got even better for the Englishman, as he broke for the second time in the match in leg seven, checking out double 10 to move three legs ahead of his rival.
