Wessel Nijman Claims European Darts Trophy, Downs Price 8-3

Price later hinted at a break due to fatigue.

Overview

  • Nijman averaged 100.8 in the final and reeled off five consecutive ton-plus averages across Sunday’s run.
  • His route featured dominant wins over Gian van Veen 6-1 (112.87), Josh Rock 6-2 (106) and Niels Zonneveld 7-1 (110.41).
  • The title brought a £35,000 payday and lifted him four places to No. 20 in the PDC Order of Merit as he targets a top-16 berth.
  • Price said a long day of four matches left him "out of gas" and posted that he "needs a break," though he is set for the Dublin Premier League night.
  • Hostile crowd noise in Göttingen drew a rebuke from referee Huw Ware, who told spectators to "shut up" during earlier matches.
