Josh Rock lifted his second European Tour trophy in Graz, edging Kevin Doets 8‑6 in a tense final that saw the Northern Irishman average 101.56. A decisive 170 “Big Fish” checkout in leg seven gave Rock a 4‑3 lead, and he held throw to seal the title and a £35,000 payday for hometown fans and position at bottom of Premier League.

Doets, ranked 33rd, entered Graz after a maiden Pro Tour win in Hildesheim and kept a 112+ average through the quarter‑finals, upsetting former world champion Rob Cross 7‑3. He survived a 6‑5 last‑16 scare against Niko Springer and broke throw twice, but Rock’s steadiness and a 60 checkout on tops sealed the win for the event and his second title.

Rock’s victory crowns a season where Northern Irish talent shines, matching Rory McIlroy’s Masters triumph in golf. The win keeps him at the bottom of the Premier League table but gives him confidence ahead of upcoming fixtures. With £35,000 and a green jacket, he proves that even the lowest ranked player can seize European Tour glory for his next season.
