Gerwyn Price began his bid for a record-extending fifth title at the International Darts Open with victory over Mike De Decker on Saturday, as Luke Humphries also made a winning start in Riesa. Day Two of the £175,000 event saw the second round take place across two sessions at the WT Energiesysteme Arena, with Price winning through a high-quality affair against De Decker. The Welshman has won four of his eight European Tour titles in this event, although he was forced to defy a ton-plus average from the World Grand Prix champion before closing out a 6-4 triumph.
"I love the German crowds, and I love playing in Riesa," declared Price, who averaged 99 and wrapped up proceedings with a 119 checkout. "When I get support like I do here, things happen for me, and hopefully I can become a five-time champion tomorrow!" Twitter Twitter , which may be using cookies and other technologies.
