Van Gerwen becomes King of New York with relentless whitewash win over Jeff Smith in US Darts Masters Final

Fresh from lifting his seventh Premier League Darts crown, the winning form continues for Michael van Gerwen with the Green Machine becoming the first player to win the US Darts Masters in both Las Vegas and New York.
Van Gerwen scooped the £20,000 top prize and claimed an 18th World Series of Darts title as a result of defeating Jeff Smith 8-0 in the final.
But it nearly ended at the semi-final stage for Van Gerwen. He saw off Jim Long in the Quarter-Finals 6-2 before having to come from 6-4 down to see off Rob Cross.
He defied checkouts of 170 and 122 from the former World Champion and recent European Tour winner to seal a remarkable win. Cross wired the bull for a 167 finish and Van Gerwen snatched it.
But in the final, it was much more smooth sailing as he eased past The Silencer. He sealed a 103 checkout to start the tie with a 12-darter and after missed darts from Smith, Van Gerwen pounced to surge into a 5-0 lead.

- 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

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
