INCREDIBLE FROM THE ASP! A 105.81 average and 100% on the doubles as he sees off a very good display from Matt Campbell to reach the Quarter-Finals! He's hungry for a second US Darts Masters title, and will take some stopping! 📺 bit.ly/USMasters23Live | #USDarts R1
Awesome Aspinall averages 105 in superb Campbell win as Van den Bergh, Cross and Humphries seal US Darts Masters openers

Nathan Aspinall secured one of his career best triumphs previously at the US Darts Masters when held in Las Vegas, but could add it again in New York.
This after a superb opening win for 'The Asp' against Matt Campbell in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Aspinall produced a stellar 105.81 average and 100% on the doubles in a flawless display seeing off his fellow Tour Card holder 6-4 in the end who was seen pre-tournament as the main qualifier hope.
Also to start the first round in the Big Apple, Luke Humphries, Dimitri van den Bergh, and Rob Cross all safely moved through their opening ties.
Humphries who is making his US Darts Masters debut as a fixture of this year's World Series saw off CDC Continental Cup winner, Alex Spellman.
Spellman showed glimmers at Q-School as well as being a regular on the MODUS Super Series so could've been a banana skin for 'Cool Hand Luke' but in the end, it was a 6-2 win with checkouts of 115 and 100 en route.
Van den Bergh safely navigated past qualifier JT Davis prior to that 6-2 with a 95.2 average and two ton plus checkouts. While for Cross, it was a lot harder.
He saw off Jason Brandon also 6-2 but both struggled as Cross averaged only 82.5 in victory with no 180's between the pair to open the tournament. Things could only get better from there.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- 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
