Rob Cross Conquers America

In the final it was England v Wales, Cross v Price. The way these two were playing it promised to be a great match. Price started the better, bursting into a 2-0 lead. However Rob responded brilliantly winning the next two legs to make the game 2-2. Price went on to win the next two legs moving into a 4-2 lead. Then the seventh leg saw Price squander three darts at a double which allowed Rob the chance to hit double four to close the gap to 4-3. After the break, Gerwyn took out 164. This got the crowd on their feet and put Price 5-3 up. After hanging on in their all match, Rob started to make the game swing in his favour. He won two legs on the bounce to level the game 6-6. Both the players held their throw in the next two legs. This meant the game went down to a last leg decider. It couldn’t have been a tighter last leg, both players had goes at taking out 100. After the pair of them failed to, Cross stepped up and pinned double 18 to become the US Darts Masters Champion. Remarkably he was only ahead of Price once in the Final and that was when he won the game 8-7.
