Gerwyn Price’s hot streak continued as he edged Dirk van Duijvenbode to win the European Darts Open in Leverkusen on Sunday (March 26). The Welsh ace, nicknamed 'the Iceman', survived two missed match darts by Dutchman Van Duijvenbode, before triumphing 8-7, having fought back from 3-1 and 7-6 down.
The triumph at the Ostermann Arena adds to back-to-back Premier League wins in Nottingham and Newcastle over the past fortnight as the 38-year-old claimed his seventh European Tour title. Price told pdc.tv: “I’m happy to get the win. I played brilliant darts all weekend apart from the final.
“It was a slow game – I had to dig in and grind out the win, and without this crowd behind me it’s really difficult. This weekend the crowd have been fantastic.”
