Sevada Survives, Then Soars to A-Z Darts Duel Title

Adam Sevada continued his dream start to the 2026 CDC Tour season on Saturday, claiming back-to-back titles with victory in the A-Z Darts Duel in Niagara Falls, New York.

The top seed followed up Friday’s Winmau Darts Championship success by coming through a 99-player field once again, defeating Canada’s Brayden Hall 7-2 in Saturday’s showpiece.

Hall enjoyed a breakout run in just his second career CDC Tour event, reaching his first final with wins over Ross Snook, Garrett French and third seed David Cameron.

However, Sevada proved too strong in the final, averaging 97 to complete a dominant finish to a day that had started with a major scare.

The American survived a remarkable 22 match darts from Ram Guevara, Jr. in their Last-16 clash, eventually edging through a dramatic 6-5 contest. That escape proved to be the turning point in Sevada’s day, as he averaged 82 in his quarterfinal win over Nick Linberg, 92 in his semifinal victory over Danny Young, and then 97 in the final against Hall.

Sevada’s 6-1 quarterfinal win over Linberg was followed by a 7-4 semifinal success against Young, who matched his deepest run in a CDC Tour event and produced his best showing since Event #7 of the 2025 season.

In the bottom half of the draw, Hall battled past Ross Snook 6-5 in the Last 16 before seeing off Garrett French 6-4 in the quarterfinals. He then claimed the biggest win of his young CDC career, defeating Cameron 7-5 to reach the final.

French and Jeremiah Millar also enjoyed notable runs to the quarterfinals, turning in their best CDC Tour performances since 2024. French edged tenth seed Kiley Edmunds 6-5 in the Last 16, while Millar defeated Tyler Rettie before falling to Cameron in the quarterfinals.

Elsewhere, Jeff Smith produced the highest average of the day with 87.79, while Cameron fired in a field-leading nine 180s.

Sevada’s back-to-back titles have put him in a commanding position in the race for the US Darts Masters. The top American and top Canadian players on the CDC Tour Points List after Event Four in Philadelphia will earn berths in the US Darts Masters and North American Championship at the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden in June.

With two events remaining, Sevada is now the clear favorite to secure the American berth. For him to be overtaken, another American would need to win both events in Philadelphia next month and finish with a better leg differential.
