THE CHAMP IS UP AND RUNNING! ❄️ A clinical display from the defending champion Gerwyn Price who averages over 101 in defeating Ted Evetts 5-1 in Group A! Up next 👉 Michael Smith v Lisa Ashton #GSOD | Group A 📺 bit.ly/GSOD22Live
The afternoon session is complete to open up the Grand Slam of Darts as Gerwyn Price and Michael Smith have began their campaigns with victory at Aldersley Leisure Village.
A venue that Price is almost unbeatable at and in his opener against Ted Evetts, he set a clinical early marker against 'Super Ted' and will face Raymond van Barneveld tomorrow.
'The Iceman' sealed a 5-1 rout over Evetts with a 101.4 average and four 180's along the way with a fourth title in this tournament in his sights this week.
While Smith returned after losing in the final of the European Championship as he begins his campaign for a first major once again albeit in a nervy opening win over Lisa Ashton.
Ashton sealed a clinical hold of throw to open up but a majestic 142 checkout saw Smith take the break and the impetus as he went 3-2 up. From there, he pinned an 87 checkout on double nine for the win 5-3 in the end.
