He has now reflected on this with Aspinall calling it life-changing. Also in his interview with the PDC, he said it’s given him determination and he is back on the practice board aiming for more success.
“It is life-changing, I proved to a lot of people out there that I can throw darts,” Aspinall said.
“I’ve always been one of those players where I play better against a better player and I think that was proven in the World Championship – I can handle myself on the biggest stage.”
“In my first season it’s more than I could have ever dreamed of,” said Aspinall.
“I wanted to go all the way, I believe that I do have the game to go all the way, but it just wasn't my time.”
“I’m straight back on the practice board now - the World Championship has given me the taste for it and I want more of this,” Aspinall continued.
“I’m going to come back, it’s all new to me, I’m going to come back stronger and this has given me the determination to come back and beat these guys.”
