Yet he has not added to the two European tour titles that came earlier in his career.
Huybrechts First Triumph came to the Dutch Darts Masters in 2013.
And he followed that two years later with success at the European Darts Grand Prix.
However, Huybrechts was unable to get a third trophy at the International Darts Open in 2016.
He eventually lost 6-5 to Mensur Suljovic in Germany and missed nine competition chips.
