Van Gerwen sets special record at World Matchplay

Michael van Gerwen has set an extraordinary record at the World Matchplay in his semi-final against Dimitri van den Bergh.

Never before has a player in one match at that tournament managed to leave a double with a cover shot from 181-220 five times. A cover shot is the turn before the doubles are hit.

For example Van Gerwen threw a 180 from 196 to leave a double 8. He also hit a double with scores of 159, 168, 174 and 177.
