The win come following an impressive first year on the professional circuit, which included runs to the last 16 of the UK Open and World Championship as he moved up to 51st on the PDC order of merit.

The Angus fireman was on of the standouts at the recent World Championships as he turned heads with a series of nail-biting victories.

Soutar beat Florian Hempel, Keane Barry and Scott Mitchell to the prize.

This week the Angus player is amongst those confirmed for Players Championship events 1-2, which will take place at the Barnsley Metrodome from February 5-6. Over 120 PDC tour card holders are set to compete.
