Tipperary's Dylan Slevin recorded one of the best wins of his career as he defeated world champion Luke Littler in the first round of Players Championship 11.
The current Premier League leader was beaten 6-3 by the 22-year-old from Borrisokane.
Slevin averaged 92.74 compared to Littler's 90.11 at the tournament in Leicester.
However he lost 6-5 in the second round to Martin Lukeman, who hit a 134 checkout in the deciding leg, with the Tipperary man sitting on 36.
In the end Cameron Menzies claimed his second PDC ranking title, defeating Peter Wright in a high-quality final.
Menzies produced a stunning 107.25 average to run out an 8-3 winner in the all-Scottish final to double his title tally, just over five months on from his maiden ProTour title success.
Having come runner-up in two Players Championship event finals already in 2025, Menzies fine form was finally rewarded with a title at the Mattioli Arena, as plenty of big names fell at the first hurdle.
Michael van Gerwen was also a surprise casualty in the tournament.
The three-time world champion lost out in a deciding leg to go down 6-5 to fellow Dutchman Maik Kuivenhoven.
Price also fell at the first hurdle, the Welshman bowing out 6-4 against countryman Rob Owen.
Veteran Raymond van Barneveld lost a tight tussle 6-4 to PDC newcomer Tom Bissell.
