The English 'Count'
Ted Hankey blasted the
38 year old Dutchman Roland Scholten off the board in a one sided
final in the 2003 Dutch Open held at the Hotel de Koninghof in
Veldhoven. |
| The 2000 Embassy World Champion, who won that title in considerable
style with a 170 checkout, should that style again winning the
final in three straight sets. Scholten nick named 'The Tripod'
only got going in the third set where he won two legs, but it
was all too late. Ted won the first leg in the final set, before
Scholten won the next two legs, but that was it. Hankey won the
next two legs to take the third set and the Dutch Open Singles
title. |
Hankey (pictured right) was in pretty good form
all day. The 35 years old accounted for Finish star Jarkko Komula
in the quarter finals. This was a tight contest, but Ted took
the match 3-1.
Next match and Hankey were up against Raymond van Barneveld and
the crowd. Barneveld nick named 'Barney' is a national hero in
the Netherlands and he was playing before
his beloved home crowd and they were in full support. This was
an incredible match with both players in blistering form. |

 |
To the surprise of the crowd Hankey took the first
set in three straight legs.
Both players were averaging over 35 per dart with the second set
squared away at 2 legs each.
It was Hankey's day as he took that fifth leg and a place in the
25th Dutch Open final against Scholten (pictured left). |
