Peter Wright is a champion on the World Series and for the first time over in Australia after winning the Melbourne Darts Masters.
Wright on the semi-finals saw off Michael van Gerwen meaning a very even final in prospect between him and Shanghai Darts Master Michael Smith.
An 11-8 victory meant that it was just that and it’s joy for ‘Snakebite’ who claims his second title of a barren year so far.
The former German Darts Master hit 5 180’s and a highest checkout of 131 compared to Smith’s same amount of 180’s and a high checkout of 120.
Despite that though Smith had a better double percentage of 57% showing that if Wright had not hit the big checkouts it could have been a different outcome.

- If he went on the Seniors tour surely he would mop up the titles?Mysstree26-11-2024
- I'll miss Steve Thank you for all the memories and great matches. I was there when he (luckily) won the 96 World Championship, I expected him to win and perfom better in the PDC than he did as he moved over so early when he still had good form. Looks great for 60, today's players should take note !! Sure he was a driving instructor when in the BDO. A cool guy, very friendly and interesting to chat with.No theatrics on stage, just got on and played darts Sign him up SKY !!!richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- I agree. With the number of tournaments these days?, Phil could probably earn £2 million a year if still playing. I can't believe Chisnall has earned over half a million for being so inept, he barely gets past the first round, stealing a living. That's outrageous.richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- As prize money increases each year and there are now more tournaments then logically breaking the £2 million barrier is going to happen, only thing preventing it is the now deeper strength in depth of the darting field. If you took Taylor’s best two consecutive years and substituted the prize money from now onto the tournaments he won he would have passed the £2 million.Mysstree26-11-2024
- Only Gary Anderson in MVG’s quarter who should really trouble him assuming he wins his first two games. If he can’t get out of that quarter of the draw he will be hard pushed to win another World Title.Mysstree26-11-2024
