The rivalry between
Jonny Clayton and Gerwyn Price continues with 'The Ferret' continuing the defence of his
Masters title with a superb 10-8 victory over his World Cup teammate.
Clayton produced a 104.2 average in claiming the win with five 180's and 67% on the doubles and he is through to the semi-finals where he will face Dave Chisnall.
Price raced into the lead early as he looked to get away from his rival at 3-0 up.
But Clayton came charging back with a 106 checkout to make it 3-1. Price continued to increase his lead to 4-1 but it was after the first interval that Clayton began to find his footing.
He produced a 100 checkout to make it 4-2 and broke to make it 4-3 with a 78 checkout. This was consolidated and he went ahead for the first time at 6-5 up.
Price kept pace at 7-6 down with a 100 checkout followed by a 147 checkout for 8-7 down but the legs began to run out for his revival as Clayton went one away.
Price went one behind at 9-8 down but as he looked to force a decider Clayton pinned a 180 and 50 checkout on double 16 last dart in hand which saw him seal it.
