And the manner of his victory is all the more impressive after he revealed the drama he faced on landing in Poland.
Following his sensational victory, 2021 world champion Price admitted he lost his luggage and his brand new set of darts.
The Welsh former rugby player then had to dash out and a buy new darts last-minute... before tinkering with them by filing down the points.
Reflecting on his win, Price - fresh from final heartbreak in the World Cup of Darts last month - revealed: "I'm quite chuffed that I won considering the circumstances...
"I lost my case, lost my darts... I had a brand new set of darts.
"I felt the points on them were too long so I was filing them down for two days.
"So to be mentally strong and come through games in which I wasn't 100 per cent confident shows I've got great character and strength.
"I'll probably keep these darts now and finish with them the rest of the year. It gives me confidence leading into the World Matchplay."

Price went on to say he felt frustrated during much of the tournament - but is glad he doesn't have to "beat myself up" after finally clinching the title.
He said: "It's nice to get back on the winning stage and getting trophies again, but I felt like I was a bit frustrated all the way through that game.
Gerwyn Price reveals darts rival who rattled him most and it led to awkward moment on stage
"I was trying too hard to get a leg in front and trying to break him but in the end I've done it.
"I missed a couple of match darts where I was probably 7-6 up where I could've lost it but double-double finish.
"I missed loads of doubles and kept Stephen in the game.
"But I played really well against Rob, I was a bit frustrated with myself in the final but that's the way it goes sometimes.
"I played really well against Chris (Dobey), Rob (Cross). Got frustrated but I won and that's all that matters... otherwise I'd beat myself up for a couple of days."

Metcalfe: Wales will respond after defeat in U20 Summer Series
The hosts showed determination throughout the physical encounter, reducing Ireland's advantage to 10-5 and 15-10 during the match through scores from Savannah Picton-Powell and Seren Singleton. But tries from Irish quintet Sophie Barrett, Robyn O'Connor, Hannah Clarke, Jemima Adams-Verling and Ellie O'Sullivan-Sexton ultimately put the game out Wales's reach at the Centre for Sporting Excellence in Ystrad Mynach, Caerphilly. However, Metcalfe insisted her charges won't dwell too much on the defeat and that they will work hard to improve before they next take to the field. 'We're Welsh, we'll be sure to keep going,' said the 18-year-old. 'I'm really proud of the girls for what they did today. 'We left everything out on the field, and I can't doubt anyone's intent. We are a really young side, so there's a few things we need to freshen up on, but I'm really proud of our efforts.' 😎 A recap of the results from yesterday's opening games in the #U6NSummerSeries — Six Nations Under-20s (@SixNationsU20) July 6, 2025 Both sides matched each other's intensity in the tackle during the opening exchanges, but Ireland were able to withstand Wales' early pressure as the game remained scoreless after 20 minutes. Barrett and O'Connor gave Ireland a 10-0 lead midway through the first half, but Wales regrouped well, halving the deficit on the half-hour mark when Chiara Pearce, fresh off the bench, offloaded to the charging Picton-Powell to dot down. Clarke finished a cross-field Irish move seven minutes into the second 40 minutes, but Wales refused to give up the ghost, hitting back five minutes later as Singleton crashed over in the corner following good work to get the ball out wide on the right to reduce the gap back to five points. Metcalfe explained it was passages of play such as the one Singleton scored from that Wales can take as one of the positive from the clash. 'I think the way we move the ball [was pleasing],' she continued. 'Our intent too and the way we were running on the ball, we're working really hard, but it's just about the little bits to finish things off now. We can definitely do it.' Amidst the driving rain, Adams-Verling, named Player of the Match, re-established Ireland's two-score buffer on 58 minutes before O'Sullivan-Sexton's late effort rounded off the scoring. Wales will be back in action on 11 July when they take on Scotland in the second match of the competition.

Yorkshire had posted a competitive-looking target of 200 but Donald had different ideas. Simply ridiculous!!!! Nye equals the Blast record fastest fifty – 13 balls – in just the fourth over!! 👏 Watch LIVE ⤵️ — Derbyshire CCC (@DerbyshireCCC) July 6, 2025 He teed off and brought up his 50 in the fourth over. He went on to make 85 off 30 balls, hitting seven sixes and eight fours. Nottinghamshire secured a nervy one-wicket win off the penultimate ball against Leicestershire. Rishi Patel (51) and Sol Budinger (56) helped the Foxes to 188 for two in their 20 overs. Nottinghamshire were steady in their reply with Joe Clarke hitting 50 before a flurry of wickets put them in danger until number 10 Dillon Pennington and number 11 Farham Ahmed saw them over the line with the 119th delivery. That is a derby-day victory on home soil for your Notts Outlaws!#OutlawsAssemble | 📺 — Notts Outlaws (@TrentBridge) July 6, 2025 Ned Leonard and Andy Gorvin did the damage for Glamorgan as they beat Kent by six wickets. Leonard took four for 26 and Gorvin four for 17 as Kent were restricted to 118 for nine from their 20 overs. The Welsh county made light work of their chase, knocking it off in the 12th over, with Kiran Carlson top-scoring on 34.
