Ritchie Edhouse is enjoying the tournament of his career at the European Championship with a semi-final appearance in Dortmund.
Edhouse has lined up a last-four clash with Luke Woodhouse after defeating Gary Anderson, Michael Smith, and Gian Van Veen in Germany.
The dream journey marks his best-ever performance at a major tournament and he’s revealed the ingredient he’s added to his game to help him get there.
Ritchie Edhouse adds ‘bit of grit’ at European Championship
After his last leg decider victory over Michael Smith, Madhouse revealed he’d learned to hang in games and become difficult to play against.
Speaking to PDC TV, the 41-year-old said: “I’m on cloud nine at the moment. I’ve got a bit of grit in my game now.
“I might have rolled over previously, but now I have the belief, and my confidence went up throughout the game.”
Edhouse was 4-1 down in his game against Smith before a stunning 152 checkout in leg six inspired an extraordinary comeback.

Edhouse and Woodhouse will be joined by Jermaine Wattimena in the final four of the Dortmund competition.
The Dutchman defeated World No. 1 Luke Humphries 10-4 in the quarterfinals, meaning there won’t be a single top 10 seed in the final four of the European Championship.
Woodhouse, Edhouse, and Wattimena will be joined by Ricardo Pietreczko or Danny Noppert, who are seeded 14 and 11, respectively, in the competition.
