Markham’s Price showed why he is the world’s best with a clinical demolition of Cullen.
The Iceman may have had a few weeks off since his world champs victory.
But he was right back in the groove as he averaged 104.37 in his comprehensive win to book a last eight spot against Adrian Lewis.

And Price was joined in the quarters later by Pontyberem’s Clayton with whom he won the World Cup of Darts last year.
Clayton produced a 14-darter to seal the victory over the Dutchman in the deciding leg of the best of 19-battle.
He faces James Wade in the quarters.
