Dolan smashes Cullen in shock second round win at PDC World Darts Championship

Brendan Dolan is through to the third round after seeing off Joe Cullen in a shock straight sets win.

Dolan was heavily unfancied before the match but ripped the form book up with a brilliant performance over the Rockstar. This included the first 170 checkout of the tournament with Dolan netting the big fish. Dolan started the match by claiming the first leg in consecutive legs. This was all with a 75% double percentage. Like alluded to he hit a 170 and this came in the next set as he wrapped it up without reply from Cullen. Cullen finally claimed a leg in the next set but from there his troubles continued as ‘The History Maker’ streaked to a brilliant win. for more information about the PDC World Darts Championship, including schedules and the prize fund breakdown.
