Corrine Hammond is through to the 2020 BDO World Championship Quarter-Finals after defeating Vicky Pruim on the opening day who was a late replacement for close friend, Fallon Sherrock.
Hammond said that it is definitely a confidence booster to win against Pruim considering it is her first win as a result in the tournament since losing the final in 2017 and that from her perspective, she is very pleased with the new venue.
"I definitely am. I haven't won a game at the World Championship since I made the final in 2017 so that's been three years now so I'm very happy. After I was two legs down in the first set, I thought this could be over pretty quickly; you need to dig in and have a shot," said Hammond to Tungsten Tales.
"I mean every game is a hard game so whenever you win one you've got to be satisfied to be able to do that."
"This is a great venue. I'm really quite impressed with it, the crowd is good. So I'm quite excited to be able to play another game."

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
