Gerwyn Price is through to the third round of the 2022/23 PDC World Darts Championship and will return after Christmas following a scare against Luke Woodhouse.
Price surged in the last set but had to come from a set down with Woodhouse putting up resistance at the start as he looked to dump out 'The Iceman' but crisis averted as the World Number One sealed a 3-1 sets win with a 92 average, two 180's and a high checkout of 150. Raymond van Barneveld could await next.
Woodhouse had a superb first set and with the crowd firmly against Price, the Bewdley ace averaged 105 as he took the opening set against the World Number One 3-1.
He started the second set with a break chance but busted on double 15 and Price held throw. Woodhouse got another go on 90 but couldn’t get a shot albeit left 52 which he pinned on double 16 at 1-1.
Price edged the next set with an 83 checkout to seal it in a decider but was still under severe pressure from Woodhouse. This pressure saw him hold to begin set three. Price hit back with a 13-darter on double 18.
Price missed multiple opportunities to break but Woodhouse couldn’t hit a 64 checkout missing two at double 20 and Price broke to go one away from a 2-1 sets lead which he pinned on double 10.
A 76 on the bull saw Price seal a 1-0 lead and he followed it with a 150 checkout and was one away from the win. Price missed two darts for the win but returned for double five.

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
