    Jesus Christ.

    White leaves himself d10 in the decider, hits d15 first dart with 3 clean at it.

    Price comes in and takes out 160 for the match.

    The Diamond will be on suicide watch tonight.

    Entertaining match and fantastic last leg.
    Outstanding darts to take out a 160 in that situation.

    All four quarters were worthy of being finals. Excellent standard and drama.

    I was another that always thought Wright was soft and brittle and wouldn't win a major final.

    Notwithstanding a kind draw he proved me wrong, he always had the darts I just thought he lacked the mental toughness. Would like to see him push on now

    It just goes to show that you don't need the the top players to have entertaining games, top quality darts and plenty of drama.

    It could be argued that Wright was fortunate with MvG and Taylor not playing and Lewis and Anderson getting knocked out early but I think it added to the pressure as the expectation for him to win was there right from the start and he maintained a very high standard throughout. It meant a lot to him so nice to see a few tears too.

    Minehead looks good craic for either this or the Players Championship in December.
    Seems like everyone stays in the town for the 3 days/nights and its the nearest to a darts festival that the PDC has.
    Looked to be some amount of hangovers, which leads to the crowd not being as annoyingly ott as at other events.
