Gerwyn Price powered to a tenth European Tour title of his career, defeating Ross Smith 8-6 to seize the Elten Safety Shoes European Darts Grand Prix in Sindelfingen.
Price became just the second player after Michael van Gerwen to reach double figures for trophies won on the European Tour, averaging 99.87 across the tournament to secure glory at the Glaspalast on Sunday.
The former World Champion began his campaign by crashing in five 180s to down Dave Chisnall 6-4, before producing a sparkling display against Chris Dobey to win by the same scoreline with a 105.96 average.
The Welsh number two then survived a match dart in the quarter-finals to pip Martin Schindler in a last-leg shootout with another ton-plus average, and followed this up by enacting revenge on Wessel Nijman’s European Darts Trophy win by defeating the Dutchman 7-4 to reach the final.
Price - competing in his second European Tour final in just two appearances on the circuit this year - burst into a 3-0 lead, before Smith rallied with four consecutive legs of his own to snatch the lead.
The three-time Grand Slam winner then struck back with a 130 outshot in a 12-darter, before capitalising on Smith missing five darts at double to lead 6-5, to break throw and regain the initiative.
Despite Smith taking a 12-darter of his own to reduce the deficit to 7-6, Price saw out the contest with a 14-dart hold to claim a remarkable tenth career title and first at the Glaspalast.
