"Price doesn't deserve crowd against him" - Luke Humphries sticks up for rival amidst hostile receptions
PDCFriday, 13 October 2023 at 13:00
Luke Humphries won the first major title of his career last weekend. In the final of the World Grand Prix, he defeated Gerwyn Price 5-2.
Price was regularly booed during the final and cited in his interview afterwards that he would have preferred to have played this final in Wales. "Price doesn't deserve crowd against him," Humphries told Sky Sports.
"He doesn't deserve it. He's played a huge part in the sport growing the way it has. I didn't want that to happen in the final, I was hoping it would be a bit more impartial," continues 'Cool Hand Luke'.
"I think he does struggle sometimes with the crowds and it maybe effected him at times in crucial moments. But I suppose that's just the way darts is at the moment."

- 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
