Michael van Gerwen heeft op zaterdagavond zijn vijfde titel op de BoyleSports World Grand Prix gepakt. Hij versloeg Dave Chisnall met 5-2 in de finale.
Van Gerwen volgde zijn overwinningen in 2012, 2014, 2016 en 2018 op door zijn titel dit jaar te verdedigen in het Citywest Convention Centre in Dublin.
De wereldkampioen pakte £110.000 door de titel te winnen. Chisnall haalde voor de tweede keer in zes jaar de finale van de World Grand Prix.
VAN GERWEN: "It's been a phenomenal week for me and I played really well, and it was a really good performance in the final because Dave put me under pressure. This was some of the best darts I've seen from Dave and he never gave in.
He had a great tournament and he played really well and pushed me, but every time in the important moments I did the right thing - and I think going 3-1 up was a big moment.
I feel good and I want to keep this form going now into the big tournaments we have coming up."
