Michael van Gerwen began his quest for a fifth Interwetten European Darts Open title with a thrilling victory over Daryl Gurney, while Peter Wright was eliminated by Scott Williams. On Saturday night, Gerwen averaged 113.79 to defeat Gurney 6-3 in their second round match.
Peter Wright led 2-1 early on, but a total of 15 missed doubles let Williams – the current Winmau Challenge Tour Order of Merit leader – through, sending the world number one to his third consecutive European Tour second round departure.
Top seed Gerwyn Price had to fight back from a 2-1 deficit to win 6-4 against Luke Woodhouse, despite the qualifier having took out 132 as he narrowed the gap from 5-2 to just one leg in the final stages. Price will face Nathan Aspinall in the third round as the former UK Open winner won 6-2 over Karel Sedlacek with a magnificent 160 checkout.
