Michael van Gerwen did not make it past the third round at the nineteenth Players Championship tournament of the season on Thursday. 'Mighty Mike' had to face Nathan Rafferty in the last 32.
Van Gerwen took a 2-1 lead early in the match via a 14-darter and a 13-darter, and then managed to turn a 2-3 deficit into a 4-3 lead. Rafferty then evened the score again with a 98 finish, and then took advantage of the fact that Van Gerwen was not out in six visits. The Northern Irishman broke the Dutchman with a 17-darter, and then also threw a 17-darter in his own leg to set the final score at 6-4.
