JAMES WADE was honoured at the annual PDC Awards at the Dorchester Hotel yesterday evening.
The 25-year-old whose rise to world number two included victory in the Blue Square UK Open, appearances in major finals in the Premier League, Desert Classic and World Matchplay and a nine-darter in the Grand Slam of Darts, was named as the Young Player of the Year.
Wade's outstanding display to defeat Wayne Mardle 17-5 in the World Matchplay semi-finals was named as the PDC Televised Performance of the Year.
"It's an honour to win two awards but I still have improvement to make," said Wade. "I fell short to Phil Taylor in three major finals and he's the benchmark for me in 2009."
The televised nine-darter also earned him a gold pin badge.
Highlights of the PDC Awards are on Sky Sports 2 at 6.30 p.m. on Friday.
