Van Gerwen continues resurgence with 113 average in win over Smith and Wright whitewashes Bonser

Michael van Gerwen and Peter Wright are the next players through as the latest World Series event, the Melbourne Darts Masters continues.

Van Gerwen was a class apart as he sent a message to the competition with an 113 average in a 6-1 win over Raymond Smith. Six 180’s and a 75% checkout percentage gave Mighty Mike an imperious win to continue his resurgence.
Wright similarly looked good as he completed the first whitewash of today’s proceedings. It was 6/6 on the doubles alongside the 99 average as ‘Snakebite’ proved too good for the qualifier.
