Dolan knocks out Van Gerwen at Hungarian Darts Trophy after last-leg thriller

Michael van Gerwen has been eliminated in the third round of the Hungarian Darts Trophy by Brendan Dolan. The Dutchman lost 6-5 after a deciding leg.
Van Gerwen had a break ahead halfway through the match after he broke Dolan in the fifth with a 13-darter. A 72 finish later gave Mighty Mike a 5-3 lead.
Dolan then held his own leg with a 14-darter and took advantage of a bad leg from Van Gerwen, who was not out in five turns.
The last leg seemed to be a quick victory for the Northern Irishman after a good start, but four missed match-darts gave Van Gerwen four chances to snatch the win. The Dutchman failed to take profit and then Dolan hit double 1 with his fifth match-dart.
The elimination in Hungary means Van Gerwen still has to wait for his first title of the season. Next week the three-time world champion gets another chance at the World Cup of Darts, where he will represent the Netherlands with Dirk van Duijvenbode.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
