Gerwyn Price has won his fourth Premier League Darts night of the year after victory in Brighton on Thursday evening.
Price, from Markham, saw off reigning world champion Michael Smith 6-3 in the final.
On his way to the final, Price beat Chris Dobey 6-2 in the quarter-finals and then Michael van Gerwen 6-5 in the semi-finals.
In the process, Price averaged over 100 in all three matchups – including a 115.97 average against Dobey – the ninth-highest in Premier League history and the highest since 2017.
The win follows on from Premier League successes in Cardiff, Nottingham and Newcastle.
Earlier this month, the 38-year-old won the International Darts Open in Germany, having won the European Darts Open a week earlier.
Success in Brighton means Price has closed the gap on Premier League leader Van Gerwen and boosted his play-off ambitions.
Price said: “It was a great night for me. I thought I played really well, especially in the first two games.
“I go home with another five league points and £10,000 winner’s prize, so it’s a great feeling to win again.
“I’m probably playing the best I ever have on a TV stage; I’ve played to this standard before in ProTour events and in practice, but this is the place to do it with the eyes of the world on you.
“I think there’s a lot more to come from me, I’m still a relative novice in the sport.”
Premier League Darts heads to the Netherlands on Thursday April 20 for night 12 – with Price facing Smith in the opener.
Price added: “I’m looking forward to Rotterdam next week now. I’ll be wearing a special orange shirt which hopefully will go down well with the Dutch fans.
“I need to keep playing well and make sure I get in the play-offs for the first time, but I’m also chasing Michael [van Gerwen] now for top spot.”
