A PDC spokesperson said: “Gerwyn decided not to complete his match against Brendan Dolan and left the venue immediately. We understand he felt the venue was cold”; Luke Littler wins the Wigan tournament on his Players Championship debut, throwing a nine-darter in his third-round match
Former world darts champion Gerwyn Price withdrew halfway through a third-round match at the Players Championship in Wigan after what he claimed were “absolutely pathetic conditions”.
Price was trailing 4-2 on legs against Brendan Dolan in a best-of-11-legs encounter when he forfeited the match at Robin Park Tennis Centre, with Dolan handed a bye into the next round.
The Welshman later wrote on Instagram: “Absolutely pathetic conditions, travel all the way to Wigan to play in a professional game and we have to play in less than amateur conditions.
