Peter Wright is the PDC Nordic Darts Masters champion thanks to an 11-5 win over Gerwyn Price in the final in Copenhagen.
Starting in style, Snakebite held throw in the opener with a 104 finish, his first ton-plus checkout of the tournament so far. He wouldn't have to wait long for his second, going 2-0 with a brilliant 149 finish. Price would pass up an opportunity to get on the board in the 4th before a third ton-plus finish in five legs would see Wright enter the first break 5-0 up.
Price would finally open his account in the first leg after the break but Wright was still more than comfortable, edging out the second session by 3 legs to 2, increasing his overall lead to 8-2, just three legs away from claiming the title.
After Wright moved to two legs away, Price showed some fight to fire in a ton-plus checkout of his own with a 140 finish to make it 9-3. The Welshman would then break throw to get another leg on the board at 9-4 before a brilliant 156 checkout from Price would keep the momentum on his side with a third straight leg. Snakebite took the last leg of the session however to go into the break just one leg away at 10-5.
Returning after the break, Wright would need just a single leg to seal the deal and become Nordic Darts Master for the first time in his career.

- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
