Williams beats disappointing Hogan; Suzuki sets-up ladies final against Ashton
BDOFriday, 10 January 2020 at 21:37
Jim Williams is through to the semi-finals at the 2020 BDO World Darts Championship. The Quiff booked a convincing victory over Paul Hogan.
Hogan was not a shadow of the player who impressed at this event in his first three matches. He averaged 99 on Thursday evening to saw off Martijn Kleermaker after an entertaining tie. However this time, the Hampshire ace only averaged 82.
It went wrong in the first set, after the Englishman gave away a 2-0 lead. The set went 3-2 to Williams after a superb 106 checkout. The Welshman then easily extended his lead to 3-0.
Hogan took the fourth set, but Crocodile Dundee did not get any further. With a 14-darter, Williams did the job in the sixth set as he reaches the semi-finals for the second time in his career.
Mikuru Suzuki became the second finalist for the ladies event after beating 16-year-old Beau Greaves. The Japanese reigning champion will meet Lisa Ashton in the ladies final on Saturday.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
