Markham’s Gerwyn Price clinched his second darts title of the year with a victory at the Players Champions 7 in Germany on Saturday.

Price, who recently lost his world number one rank, defeated Latvia’s Madars Razma 8-4 in the final to seal his 25th PDC title.

Price sailed into a 7-1 lead but had to see off a late mini-comeback from Razma to secure the victory.

Price’s day began with a win over Connor Scutt, before coming through a last-leg decider against Ted Evetts.

Price then went on to beat Geert Nentjes 6-1 in the last 16, before overcoming Dirk van Duijvenbode 6-3 in the last 16.

His semi-final victory over Rob Cross was less routine, as Cross spurned 12 match darts to allow Price to come back from 6-2 down to triumph 7-6.

Price said: “I got lucky in the semis but you need a bit of lucky to win any tournament,” said Price, who produced four ton-plus averages across the day.

“Rob missed loads of chances and I took advantage, but I’ve been on the other side of that plenty of times so I’ll take it.

“Most of the day I played alright. My hand is still not 100 per cent right but if I can still win ProTours that’s not too bad.

“Playing in ProTours will stand me in good stead for the rest of the Premier League, they give me the match practice I’ve been missing due to my hand injury.”
