Angus darts star Alan Soutar has overtaken Gary Anderson as the second-highest earning Scot at the 2021 PDC Players Championships.
Arbroath ace Soutar took a number of scalps at Super Series 6, including current World No 7 Dave Chisnall.
The Dundee firefighter also posted the top darts average of all 128 players from the final day.
He scored an impressive 108.94 in his win over Carl Wilkinson.
Soutar narrowly missed out on a last 16 place after failing to convert two match darts against World No 2 Peter Wright.
Wright is the top earning Scot in the Players Championships with total prize fund of £47,250 in 2021.
