Van Gerwen beats Anderson to win PDC World Darts Championship

Xinhua, January 3, 2017 Adjust font size:

Dutchman Michael van Gerwen, ranked first in the world, beat defending champion Gary Anderson 7-3 to win the PDC World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace on Monday.

Scotland's Anderson, winner in 2015 and 2016, wasted a 2-1 lead before losing the momentum.

"I feel absolutely over the moon," said van Gerwen, who won his first title in 2014.

"I've been working for this because it's the most important one. We all fight for this really hard and I'm really glad I did the right thing at the right moments because Gary is a phenomenal player." Endit
