Clayton sees Cullen Premier League semi-finals defeat as lowest low in career: "I just didn't turn up and I got smashed"

The latest to answer the PDC Big 20 was Jonny Clayton with questions posed to darting stars in an interview format designed to get to know a player even better.

Among the questions asked to the multiple major champion included his best and worst moments of his career so far.

"Highest high would have to be winning the World Cup of Darts with Gezzy (Price) and obviously the Premier League. Lowest low was Premier League final (losing to Joe Cullen in 2022 semi-finals). It's not losing, I just didn't turn up and I got smashed. Any major when you pick up that trophy at the end of the competition, there's no better feeling," said Clayton to the PDC.

Speaking of Cullen, this hurts even more as his best mate on the tour as he admits he doesn't dislike anyone.

"Joe Cullen has to be one of my best mates, Gezzy (Price) obviously, Devon Petersen, Mark Webster when he turns up. I've got a lot of friends in the sport, I get on with anybody."

Despite losing in that semi-final, he still sees the Premier League as his favorite tournament and discussed not watching darts or any sport for that matter barring if it's on somewhere.

"Premier League has to be top of the tree. World Championship is fantastic but I like Blackpool. It's a little bit smaller than everywhere else but the atmosphere is brilliant."

"I don't watch darts. If it goes on I'll watch but I wouldn't make a point of watching, the same as rugby when I played rugby."
