Michael van Gerwen fell short against
Gerwyn Price on Sunday evening to take the title at the
International Darts Open . With 8-4, 'Mighty Mike' had to acknowledge his superior in 'The Iceman'.
Especially on the doubles, Van Gerwen failed. In three of the first four legs Price won, the Dutchman missed opportunities for the doubles. ''Gezzy is in good form and when he’s in this form he is going to punish you'', Van Gerwen responded afterwards.
''That’s part of the game and you have to learn from that. It is nice to make the final but for me it’s not enough, it’s as simple as that. The crowd are always phenomenal but you want to perform well for yourself and for the fans watching, but today wasn’t my day'', he added.
