Michael van Gerwen won the German Darts Championship on Sunday by beating James Wilson 8-6 in the final.
It is Van Gerwen's seventh European Tour title of the year and he lost just seven legs over the weekend.
The world No 1 hit checkouts of 154 and 118 to clinch the £25,000 prize.
"I think 17 tournament wins so far this year isn't bad," Van Gerwen said.
"There are so many tournaments coming ahead and I want to win every one of them. I'm going to be at it non-stop until the end of the year."
