The opening session of the Grand Slam of Darts is complete with Dimitri van den Bergh hitting a record average in a stunning win over Ricky Evans.
Van den Bergh averaged 114.85 which is the highest average in a single game in the tournament to see off Ricky Evans in a 5-1 win which included en route a missed double 12 for a nine-dart finish.
This included two 180's, a high checkout of 140 and 50% on his doubles as hee sent out a statement against the Kettering ace.
While Gary Anderson also made a winning start despite obviously struggling with a knee injury which saw him pull out of most of the PDC Winter Series.
Anderson saw off Czech youngster Adam Gawlas who went 2-1 up but fell in a 5-3 defeat despite 'The Flying Scotsman' averaging just 83.5 but it is still a winning start for the two time World Champion.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
