Defending champion Gerwyn Price did not make a misstep in the first round of the New Zealand Darts Masters. 'The Iceman' handled Simon Whitlock quite easily, beating him 6-1.
Whitlock got off to a promising start with a 104 finish in the first leg, taking a break lead. The Wizard failed to catch on and saw Price come alongside with a 92 finish and a 149 check-out. After that, Price was able to grab three legs in a row in six innings, increasing the lead to 5-1. The Welshman then closed the match beautifully with a 13-darter.
Nathan Aspinall played his first match in New Zealand since winning the World Matchplay in late July. 'The Asp' was somewhat disappointing with an average of 92 and a finishing percentage of 30 percent, but it was enough for a big win.
An 11-darter in the sixth leg was Aspinall's highlight, taking him to a 5-1 lead. Milne then took his second leg, before the Stockport ace joined the last eight with a 68 finish.

- 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
