Price wins International Darts Open for third time with stunning win over Wright, continues stint as World Number One

Gerwyn Price will continue his stint as World Number One at least for the time being after defeating Peter Wright 8-4 in the final of the International Darts Open in Riesa.
It is a third triumph in the tournament for Price with a 106.95 average, three 180’s, two ton plus checkouts and 88.9% on the doubles against his rival.
He also wins a third European Tour title in a row after collecting the only two held in 2021 and it is a sixth overall with all eyes set to be on the UK Open next week for Wright’s potential next chance to top the Order of Merit.
Wright produced a timely 180 in a quality opening leg and he got the first shot but missed bull for an 81. Price took aim at the same target and hit double six to break and go 1-0 up.
Again Wright was on 81 after nine again and he hit the bull this time to make it 1-1 and break back. He handed Price a shot at 150 but he couldn’t take it and Wright hit double eight to lead 2-1.
An 86 checkout for an 11-darter saw Price square it up at 2-2 and he hit a 108 checkout from there saw him lead at 3-2. A spurned five darts at double saw Price continue his dominance at 4-2 up.
The reigning World Champion wasn’t done yet pegging him back at 4-3 and despite keeping him at arm's length, Wright made it 5-4 to continue that theme.
A 139 setup leaving 40 saw Price go two away at 6-4 with a 103 average to Wright’s 107. Price hit another 180 to half his score but Wright was down to 121 with Price not on a finish.
But Wright spurned darts to hold and Price broke throw to go 7-4 up and one away from a title. He sealed it in style from there with a 130 checkout.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- 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
