Michael van Gerwen won the World Matchplay for the third time in his career last Sunday. Mighty Mike beat Gerwyn Price 18-14 in the final.
However he had a rough start to the tournament. He won the first round 10-7 against Adrian Lewis however it was a game where he hit an average of only 89.99.
Van Gerwen is only the fourth tournament winner to have started the tournament with an average of under ninety. Larry Butler was the first at the very first edition in 1994. He started the event with an average of 83.61 per turn. Later followed Peter Evison (88.70 in 1996) and James Wade (88.88 in 2007).
Incidentally, Van Gerwen has managed to raise his tournament average quite a bit with his remaining four matches. His tournament average ended at 98.62.

- 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
