Van Gerwen continues ProTour woes with opening round exit on Day One at PDC Super Series 3
PDCSaturday, 24 April 2021 at 15:13
Michael van Gerwen has not yet won a title this season and will not do so on the opening day of PDC Super Series 3 in Niedernhausen, Germany.
Van Gerwen is one of the leading lights this weekend in a depleted field which has seen over 25 Tour Card holders including Gerwyn Price, Peter Wright and Gary Anderson withdraw.
But he will not go any further today after losing to Josh Payne 6-4 as his ProTour woes continue.
He had a 4-3 lead but was broken back in the eighth leg before Payne surged to victory with a hold and a break.
In the next three days, 'Mighty Mike' will have further opportunities to claim his first title of the season off the back of an inconsistent at times Premier League campaign.
If he doesn't, it will be the first time since 2011 that he has not won a title in April.

- 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
