European Darts Open 2019: Draw, schedule, results, odds & TV coverage details
The full results from the European Darts Open, which took place at the Ostermann Arena in Leverkusen from March 22-24.
This year's opening European Tour event of the season has concluded, as Michael van Gerwen bounced back from a recent dip in form to successfully defend his title.
The world champion won eight of the 13 European Tour events last season and could well be on for another big haul of trophies after this success, which was aided by a third nine-darter of the season.
Here you can look back on how the action unfolded with the full results and round-ups.
