LUKE HUMPHRIES jokingly called Gerwyn Price a “jammy b****r” after losing to him with a 119.88 average!
The World No.1 played The Iceman in a blockbuster exhibition clash in Ennis, Ireland on Saturday night.
‘Cool Hand’ threw an average of 119.88, but it remarkably only earned him one leg. The current Premier League table topper lost 6-1 to Price, who delivered an average of 118.64. Added up, the combined average came to 238.52.
Humphries said on X: “Jammy b****r he was…didn’t miss a double has to be the highest ever recorded average over a best of 11 in history. And got bashed hahahaha.”
In the astonishing match, both players managed to throw an 11-darter as their best leg.
Price produced three 180s in seven legs and Humphries four. The biggest checkout of the match was a 170 finish by Price, who managed to break the former world champ three times.
The official combined record stands at 228.65, which was set by Peter Wright and Adrian Lewis. The Scot and the Englishman played a spectacular match in the Premier League in 2017, in which Wright threw 119.50 average and Lewis 109.15. That clash was won 7-2 by Wright.
The highest individual average still stands in the name of Michael van Gerwen in Aberdeen. The Dutchman won 7-1 over Michael Smith during the 2016 Premier League Darts thanks to an average of 123.40.
