Michael van Gerwen volgde een geweldige 9-darters op door zijn derde titel te pakken op de Ladbrokes UK Open. Hij won met 11-9 in de finale van Gerwyn Price.
Michael van Gerwen beëindigde met deze titel een periode van drie maanden waarin de Nederlander geen titel wist te winnen.
Tijdens het toernooi gooide Van Gerwen in de halve finales ook nog een 9-darter, deze wedstrijd won hij met 11-3 van Daryl Gurney.
VAN GERWEN: "It's an incredible win and it means a lot to me to win this tournament, I've had a phenomenal tournament and the pressure was on me.
It was a hard day for me, I had to play three Premier League players and it was not easy but I played really good darts and didn't do a lot wrong.
The nine-darter was fantastic but with the way I was playing it was just a matter of time. That's just one leg though and I had to keep my focus.
Gerwyn had his chances in the final but I took good advantage and I never missed a chance. That was important, so I only can be happy with this."
