Van Gerwen shows his class but Peter Wright crashes out of PDC World Championship
-
Van Gerwen looked in form in win over O’Connor
-
Two-time champion Wright averaged just 79.20
Michael van Gerwen showed his class as he powered into the third round of the world championship. The three-time champion struggled in his opening match but brought his best to brush past William O’Connor 3-1.
It was an impressive performance by the Dutchman, who reminded everyone of his credentials after a difficult year on and off the oche. Luke Littler and Luke Humphries are the leading contenders for the title in January but Van Gerwen is a threat playing like this.
