GARY ANDERSON stormed into the second round of the Cash Converters Players Championship with a sensational whitewash of Michael van Gerwen, averaging 106.09 in a brilliant display.The Scot continued the form which took him to the Grand Slam of Darts final last month by restricting the youngster to just one dart at a double in the contest.
That opportunity came in the opening leg as van Gerwen missed the bullseye for an 84 finish, allowing Anderson to follow up an earlier 180 by finishing 80 to take the lead.
Anderson then opened the second with a maximum and took out double five for a 13-darter, and bettered that with a brace of 180s in a 12-dart finish to lead 3-0.
Van Gerwen opened the fourth with a 180 - his second in as many legs - and also added a 140 in leading 32, only to see Anderson finish 68 on tops for a 4-0 cushion.
He extended that lead to five legs in style with a clinical 161 checkout before going on to seal victory by taking out 72 on double six.
