Dimitri van den Bergh hit a perfect nine-dart leg against Stephen Bunting on Wednesday night in his victory over ‘The Bullet’.
Van den Bergh spoke afterwards and admitted that he couldn’t believe it. Also on the win, he said that he hadn’t played his best game yet and that he’s got to keep believing in himself.
"I still don't know what happened, it's unbelievable," said World Championship quarter-finalist Van den Bergh.
"Watching the nine-darter back it feels surreal to see myself hitting a it on stage, I can't believe it's me doing it!
"I'm over the moon to hit my first perfect leg on such a magnificent stage and I also have to thank the crowd because they helped me hit the double 12.
"I haven't played my best game yet either so maybe this is the tournament where everything will fall for me, and I've got to keep believing in myself and prepare for my next game."

- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
- Not a Dobey fan at all but it’s bizarre that the winner of 3 Players Championship rounds does not qualify ahead of any runner up. The GSOD seems to be going the same way as footballs Champions League with a lot of non winners. The old football European Cup was a tournament of winners. GSOD should be for winners only and by tournament prestige and if it’s ranked. Not enough players or multiple event winners then add winners of the big invitationals such as the Premier League and WSOD.Mysstree02-11-2024
