Price sees off Smith to claim Belgian Darts Championship title

Gerwyn Price has claimed the first European Tour title of the season defeating Michael Smith in the final of the Belgian Darts Championship.

Price took the tie in an 8-3 rout with a 100 average to cap off another great weekend.

This included a high checkout of 126 with 53 percent on the doubles en route as ‘The Iceman’ takes his second European Tour title and his second of the year after claiming a Players Championship.

It also denies Smith his first European Tour since Gibraltar in 2017 but despite that he will have his head held high as he adds important money to his Order of Merit.
