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.

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
