Price survives early scare to advance at Worlds

Gerwyn Price has won the Grand Slam of Darts on three occasions.

World number one Gerwyn Price came back from a set down to beat Luke Woodhouse 3-1 in the PDC World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace.

The 2021 champion won the third set 3-1 and a wrapped up the final set 3-0.

Price will face Raymond van Barneveld or Ryan Meikle in the third round.

The 37-year-old is one of a record breaking six Welsh players competing in this year's tournament.

Lewy Williams secured his place in the second round earlier on Monday with a 3-0 victory over Niels Zonneveld, and was one shot away from completing a nine dart finish. Williams plays Michael van Gerwen in the next round.

But Robert Owen is out after he was beaten 3-0 by England's Andrew Gilding.

Elsewhere, it was a day to remember for Canadian debutant David Cameron, who kept his nerve to save six match darts before coming from 2-0 down to beat England's Ritchie Edhouse.

Cameron followed on from Portuguese Jose de Sousa, who completed his own stunning comeback in the afternoon session to knock out 2010 runner-up Simon Whitlock.

Steve Beaton's record 32nd championship appearance ended in a 3-0 loss to debutant Danny van Trijp, while American Leonard Gates beat Geert Nentjes 3-1.
