Gerwyn Price narrowly failed to add the
Bahrain Darts Masters on Friday. 'The Iceman' went down 8-6 against Michael Smith in the final.
Price still came back to 7-6 in the final after trailing 7-3 but despite being disappointed, he had praise for the fans on his return after the ear defenders incident.
"Fair play to the crowd. They have been fantastic all weekend and supported everyone and it is nice to come away and get some cheers," said Price.
"I know there are a few English fans in there but you have been really good so thank you."
"I didn't come halfway round the world to lose. I am here to win. I missed a couple of doubles and I will kick myself over that.
"I didn't perform in the final. Michael took his chances and fair play to him for that because that is what champions do."
