Van Gerwen on Premier League title win: ‘It means a lot to me to win this tournament’

Michael van Gerwen claimed another Premier League title last night defeating Michael Smith in one of his best performances in a final to assert his dominance on the world of darts.

He spoke afterwards and Mighty Mike thought he played one of his best ever games and did so due to the big job that he had in facing Michael Smith.
Van Gerwen labelled Smith as one of the big boys now that he has reached a maiden TV final but MVG thought he was a deserved winner of the title.
“I think I played a phenomenal game, one of my best ever,” said Van Gerwen, who hit seven 180s in the final and 11 doubles from 16 attempts.
“I know I had a big job to do to win the game but I was focused on doing something extra – I wanted to break the record average but I fell just short.
“There was a lot of pressure on me to perform but I think I coped with it well and ran out a deserved winner. I had to be at my best to beat Michael, he is one of the big boys now.”
“It means a lot to me to win this tournament, I had to work hard for this over the last 16 weeks and to win it again is amazing.”
