Gerwyn Price brushed aside the outraged booing – as well as  opponent Gary Anderson – to win his first major darts tournament, the Grand Slam of Darts final, in Wolverhampton on Sunday night. The Welshman became the target for angry fans after repeatedly clashing with Anderson in a bad-tempered final.
