Gerwyn Price produced a stunning display of scoring power at Players Championship 2 in Hildesheim, landing three of the day's top five averages despite falling just short in the final. The Welshman, known as 'The Iceman', was edged out 8-7 by Dutchman Wessel Nijman in a high-quality title decider.
Price's remarkable consistency saw him post averages of 117.12 in a 6-0 quarterfinal whitewash of Michael van Gerwen, 111.14 in a 6-4 last-16 victory over Luke Woodhouse, and 107.41 in his final defeat to Nijman. These three performances secured him multiple spots on the tournament's top averages list, highlighting his exceptional standard throughout the day.
He was joined in the top five by Germany's Gabriel Clemens, who averaged 108.18 in a 6-3 last-32 win over Madars Razma to rank third, and Dutchman Kevin Doets, who took fifth place with a 106.71 average in his 6-4 second-round victory against Max Hopp. Tournament winner Nijman, who claimed his fourth career Players Championship title with the 8-7 final triumph, did not feature among the day's top five averages.
The PDC ProTour continues next week with Players Championship 3 and 4 scheduled for Monday and Tuesday respectively in Wigan.
