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.

"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."
