Stephen Bunting was the last minute replacement for Gary Anderson at The Masters and proved why he should be there with a brilliant win over Darren Webster.
After the match Bunting said that as soon as he got the call he was ready and that he wants to go on and win the whole tournament now. "It was nervy but I'm so happy to get the win," said Bunting. "I was a bit rusty too because I only came in two days ago. "I'd like to wish Gary a speedy recovery - you don't want to qualify like I did, but as soon as I got the call I was straight on the practice board to get ready. "Even at 4-1 up I knew it was going to be a hard game to play because Darren's had the upper hand on me a few times. "I've come in Gary's place but I want to go and win this now. I've got a day now to get myself ready for Sunday now." to check out the tournament centre for the Masters.

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
