The weekend after his World Seniors Darts Masters triumph, David Cameron returned to action against Gerwyn Price but it was ‘The Iceman’ who overcame a tough test to begin his US Darts Masters campaign. He sealed it 6-4 with a 112 checkout.

Price set up 40 from 94 with Cameron not pinning 131 and he went 2-1 up. Price was sat on double 20 to break and Cameron hit a 124 on the bull to hold letting out a roar of his own.

Price missed a dart to break at double 20 but Cameron drift into the single 15 on 90 allowing ‘The Iceman’ to return as he looked to go one away at 4-2 up.

But an 81 checkout for a 12-darter saw Cameron broke and he pinned double 10 to hold and level up at 4-4. Cameron hit a 177 and missed a dart at an 80 checkout and Price hit double eight to go one away at 5-4. ‘Excalibur’ sat on 60 to send it all the way and Price hit a 112 checkout to seal it.
