Gerwyn
Price has claimed back to back titles at the PDC
Autumn Series to conclude a
brilliant few days for 'The Iceman' with victory over
Krzysztof Ratajski 8-5 to
cap it off.
Price
averaged 104 for the day showing his ridiculous standard and only dropped below
103+ in the final where he averaged 98.7.
As a
result, he also finishes top of the PDC Autumn Series Order of Merit with more
money accumulated compared to Peter Wright's Summer Series triumph.
It was a
game full of breaks of throw. This stemmed from Price going 2-0 up with a 117
checkout. Ratajski returned for double 10 to make it 2-1.
Price
always maintained a two leg cushion without Ratajski getting a hold of throw
and authority as a result in the contest. This even included when 'The Polish
Eagle' took out a magnificent 132 on the bull to make it 4-3.
A
nightmare on the doubles for Ratajski though later in the match broke his
resistance with multiple chances going by the wayside to hold. Price broke to
make it 6-4 and held his throw with a 180 followed by a 74 checkout to go one
away before concluding the tie following that.
