King of Blackpool: Van Gerwen wins World Matchplay for the 3rd time

Price was in the last in the Wintertime Yard of Blackpool for the very first time. In his semi-final triumph against Danny Noppert (Netherlands), he achieved an uncommon nine darter on Saturday night. After the bitter final loss, the Welsh ex-rugby professional can comfort itself to take control of initial area worldwide rankings from Schotten Peter Wright from Monday.

Van Gerwen is put in third place after the Globe Matchplay.

Van Gerwen was for a long time. It was only when he was 15:14 that he took the lead for the very first time. For the 33-year-old van Gerwen, it is the third title at the second essential competition of the darts year after 2015 and 2016. Simply a few weeks earlier, van Gerwen won the final of the Premier Organization in Berlin.
