Dawson Murschell is hoping for further success when the World Series goes once again to Las Vegas. The young Canadian sprung one of the surprises of the tournament last year when he knocked out James Wade.
For Murschell he can't wait to play there again as well as onto TV. He has also said that the victory over Wade was a huge catalyst for him in terms of moving over to the UK and winning his tour card.
It won't be plain sailing though as he has to come through a qualifier to get to the event but with his ProTour experience he will probably be one of the favourites to get through.
“I can’t wait to play in Vegas again, it’s such a fun place,” said the player known as 'Awesome Dawson'.
“I want to get back playing on TV, where I enjoy playing darts the most – it’s the key to being a full-time pro.”
“Last year was a huge moment for me beating James,” Murschell added.
“I’ve always looked up to him and loved watching him for many years so to beat him was an incredible feeling.
“Since that win, I wanted to make a real go of it and make a living out of the game.
“The main thing was winning my Tour Card and now I’m practicing hard every day in the week and playing on the ProTour at the weekend.
“Hopefully my hard work and dedication will pay off with a good performance in Vegas and over the rest of the year on the ProTour.”

- 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
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
