Benito van de Pas has reached the quarter finals of the 2017 World Grand Prix. 'Big Ben' dropped just two legs in a 3-0 trashing of Gerwyn Price.
Van de Pas got off to the better start as he hit his starting doubles better, which allowed him to take the first set without losing a leg. Both players hit their first 180’s in set two, and it was again the Dutchman who capitalized in every leg to make it six legs on the bounce and claim a 2-0 lead.
The third set saw ‘The Iceman’ up his game as he finally took his first couple of legs. but strong finishes of 86 and 100 from ‘Big Ben’ assured Van de Pas remained in contention for the set. The Welshman got one dart at Tops to extend the match to a fourth set, but saw his attempt end up way higher than he had intended. Van de Pas stepped up to hit the same target and book his place in the quarter finals.
The world number fourteen averaged over 95 in a strong display. He now faces either Richard North or Simon Whitlock.

- It's his attitude. Zero fight when it's not going his way and looks like the darts owe him a treble. He carries every poor visit into the next one. Maybe he should decide one final year, goodbye tour and f*ing enjoy itBandB18-12-2025
- Difficult one. Obviously has some struggles but you can't allow that behaviour. The damage to his hand from punching and blocking the pyrotechnics will keep him out for months anyway, but ban to the matchplay and fine whatever his prize money was for this event, with a heavy suspended ban on top.BandB17-12-2025
- 1 year ban and £15,000 fine.medinabello16-12-2025
- can you not at least attempt to proof read these recaps? the whitlock scutt one in particular is both inaccurate and mindbogglingly unreadablecolt16-12-2025
- Look, everyone knows he likes to wind up his opponents. Today,his worst,and always will be,best opponent,is himself. I don't dislike the bloke,but he can only blame himself.rick6715-12-2025

- DRA - just a warning please. Obviously not deliberate, in good spirits a s immediate apology. (P.s. Good on you Joe! Tough season, hope you keep that standard into the next round and beyond)BandB14-12-2025
- This bozo says he can't take darts any further and he's left it in a good place.....no-one cares about this nobody. The PDC was always in a good place before he came along. Does this buffon think the crowd are there for him.richieburnettrocks14-12-2025
- Yes, a warning indeed. He is coming to the buffet table, out of his way. This class A goof continues to blither about how he is playing the best darts of his life and even had the laughable audacity to say he was in the best shape of his life. He had a lucky run at Blackpool and even luckier at the World Championship and is still living off that. His form the past year especially the last 6 months completely sucks. 6 micky mouse titles mean nothing.richieburnettrocks13-12-2025
- I'm a big Huybretchs fan from when he broke through at the euros in the early days, but his action has gone. So jerky and inconsistent. Looking at where he'll be in the rankings, hopefully he can treat the new year as a new start, relax, enjoy it and push on without the pressure of defending lots of ££BandB12-12-2025
