Gerwyn Price was superb on Thursday night during the Premier League Darts in Dublin despite losing in the final to Michael van Gerwen and has carried that form onto the European Tour on Saturday evening seeing off Graham Usher in sensational fashion at the Baltic Sea Darts Open.
Sending out a statement, Price produced a 109 average with three 180's and 66% on the doubles to see off the debutant 6-2 with a high checkout of 120.
From 2-2 which featured the 120, he won four legs in a row breaking at 4-2 with an 11-darter on double 20 followed up with an 88 checkout and a 1`2-dart 87 checkout to win in a stellar display.
Also impressing was top seed Luke Humphries who also eased through to the final day in one of the top ties on paper seeing off Daryl Gurney 6-1.
Humphries who won four European Tour titles last year but has failed to hit the heights since will have his sights set on reasserting his dominance.
He showed signs with a 98 average, five 180's and a 113 checkout to win in seeing off 'Superchin'.
While Michael Smith found his way through to the final day in a 6-4 win over home hero Niko Springer despite playing through obvious pain.
Smith was struggling with a wrist injury which he kept shaking out but it didn't prevent him from moving through in the end but one to watch tomorrow.
