"Without this crowd behind me, it would've been really difficult": Price credits crowd after superb European Darts Open triumph

Gerwyn Price sealed his seventh European Tour title on Sunday evening defeating Dirk van Duijvenbode 8-7 for European Darts Open glory.

Price once again produced some massive averages and was at the top of his game throughout the tournament but paid tribute more to the crowd in Leverkusen for helping him get over the line and ahead of Riesa hopes that support is carried forward.

"I'm happy to get the win," said Price.

"I played brilliant darts all weekend apart from the final. It was a slow game - I had to dig in and grind out the win, and without this crowd behind me it's really difficult.

"This weekend the crowd have been fantastic. I'm back in Germany next weekend so hopefully they'll support me again!"
