Michael van Gerwen admits Phil Taylor is the greatest but insists all the pressure will be on The Power in their Premier League clash. Kayvon Webster Jersey . Premier League leader Van Gerwen will take on the second-placed Taylor in an eagerly awaited showdown this Thursday night in Glasgow, live on Sky Sports. The Dutchmans recent dazzling form, which includes a record-breaking average of 124 in the Premier League, has led to fresh debate about whether he can become the best player ever.Offering his own opinion, Van Gerwen insists Taylor, a 16-time world champion, will always be recognised as the sports finest champion, but admits his recent winning record could give him a psychological edge against the 55-year-old. I think Im the best darts player at the moment, but Phil is the greatest player whos ever lived and hes still a fantastic player. Michael van Gerwen I think Im the best darts player at the moment, but Phil is the greatest player whos ever lived and hes still a fantastic player, said van Gerwen.I know Im the No 1 in the world and people will say the pressures on me, but the pressure is on him - or he will put the pressure on himself because I know Phil Taylor. Van Gerwen has won a succession of matches against Taylor in recent months I dont have a point to prove, I think Phil has a point to prove because Ive beaten him the last few times on television. Hes the greatest who ever lived in darts.Myself and Phil is probably the best game and I hope we can both play really well. Phil is the greatest player who ever lived but I think Im playing the best darts that have ever been thrown and Im showing some fantastic performances.Van Gerwen has won six successive televised games against Taylor since August 2014, although Taylor missed match darts in their Masters semi-final in January and also led in both Novembers Grand Slam final and the recent UK Open semi-final. But Taylor is expecting a closely contested match I cant wait, Im really looking forward to it and hes in for a game, said Taylor. Im close to Michael, getting closer and closer, and Im not going to keep missing doubles.I missed doubles in a few games and he hasnt. Ive got to be more ruthless. Ill keep pushing him and I think probably Im one of only two or three players who can give him a good game so hes in for a treat. Michael van Gerwen plays Phil Taylor in a top-of-the-table clash on Thursday What do I think about Michaels averages? Unbelievable. His ability is fantastic, but everybodys ability is good - its his concentration and his aggression thats getting him through, and he doesnt think hes going to miss a double. I think once I get him, hes in for a massive battle.Watch Premier League Darts on Thursday live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 7pm. Or watch for £6.99 without a contract, on NOW TV.

In the second game of their day/night doubleheader at Minneapolis, three Blue Jays pitchers, Steve Delabar, Sergio Santos and J. MELBOURNE, Australia -- Representing the United States for the first time and making his first trip to Australia, Kevin Streelman wasnt over-awed by a tough Royal Melbourne golf course on Thursday. Streelman birdied five of the first six holes on the back nine before making bogey on two of the final three to share the first round lead at the World Cup with Thomas Bjorn at 5-under 66. K.J. Choi, Martin Laird and Stuart Manley were tied for third at 67, and Jason Day (68) was sixth place, two strokes behind the leaders. Another American, Matt Kuchar, shot 71 after four bogeys on the back nine. David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., is the top Canadian after the first round. Hes in a tie for ninth at 1-under 70. Ottawas Brad Fritsch opened at even 71. The Americans and Denmark were tied for the team lead, three strokes ahead of Portugal. Traditionally a team event, an individual stroke-play competition was added to the tournament this year to mirror the format to be used at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Only 12 of the 60 players in the no-cut field broke par. "I made some good birdie putts today and some par saves as well, so pretty happy," Streelman said. "On 18, the wind tricked us a little bit and it floated me on a hair and it came down in the middle of that bunker and plugged pretty deep. I had no shot. Its going to happen out here, you expect it." Bjorn had a poor start to his day, four-putting the fourth hole. "I thought, Well, this could be a long day, but I just kind oof kept my composure and made some good birdies and kept playing solid," the Dane said. Kareem Jackson Jersey. "It is, in my eyes, probably the finest golf course you can ever play." Kuchar said he wasnt disappointed with his score. He bogeyed 18, a hole he double-bogeyed at the Australian Masters on Sunday to give Adam Scott as two-stroke win. "The back side today, certainly 16, 18, are really tough holes," Kuchar said. "I was not able to finish those off as well as I would like to have today, but even par is not a bad score." Scott, who won the Australian PGA before his Australian Masters victory, had a quintuple-bogey 9 on the 12th hole and shot 75. Trying to drive over a dog-leg with his tee shot, Scott hit his first ball on the par-4, 440-yard 12th into the bushes in the right rough, then hit a provisional in the same area. He didnt find his first ball and his second was unplayable, so he returned to the tee and hit his fifth shot. Scott hit through the green on his approach, got on the green for seven and two-putted for nine. "Just a couple of lazy swings and I paid the price," Scott said. "Just away with the fairies on that hole. When you play good tracks like this you need to be switched on at all times and I paid the price." The system being used to determine the entries at the World Cup -- world golf rankings and the number of players eligible from each country based on those rankings -- will be used at the Rio Games when golf returns to the Olympic program in 2016.
