Daryl Gurney returned to the stage and to his Sweet Caroline
walk-on in front of fans and it seemed to do the trick as he claimed an impressive
victory over Cody Harris.
Gurney hit the highest average of the tournament up to that
point with 102.2 which included four 180’s and two ton-plus finishes as he saw
off ‘Code Star’ in a 6-2 victory.
This ton plus finishing began the tie with 107 being hit to
claim the opening leg. Harris made it 1-1 but from there, Gurney went into a
4-1 lead which included a 124 checkout with 20, T18 and Bull as he headed into
the break in fine fashion.
He missed three at doubles and Harris returned to go 4-2
behind but this proved nothing more than a blip in the road for ‘Superchin’ as
he hit double 16 in the requisite leg to go one away. Harris missed a dart in
the following leg to keep himself in the tie and Gurney pinned double 20 to
make it through.
Gerwyn Price produced some brilliance during the PDC Autumn
Series winning back-to-back titles which he will hope to take to Salzburg and
he has got through his first hurdle against Vincent van der Voort. He won through against ‘The Dutch Destroyer’ 6-3 with a
101.4 average, 6/13 on the doubles and a 124 checkout en route.
Price began the tie with Van der Voort by taking command in
the form of a 2-0 lead with the latter only averaging 70 in the early going. But
despite that, the Dutchman turned it around despite only increasing his average
to 83 making it 3-2 at the break.
When they returned, Price continued to cement his lead
though with a 13-darter on double 20 to make it 4-2. Van der Voort held his throw to go to 4-3 but
Price produced what turned out to be a pivotal 124 checkout to go one away.
He concluded the tie pinning 42 with a brilliant 177 set up
shot leaving 42 with Van der Voort originally first to a finish.

- 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
