Jeffrey de Zwaan lost out in the first round of the World Matchplay to Glen Durrant in an emphatic win for the three time Lakeside champion.
This included a 107 average and six 180's which by his own admission, De Zwaan couldn't live with in a tie which ended 10-3 in favour of Durrant.
“My first dart was always a bit above the treble 20, which made it difficult. Nevertheless, I had the feeling that I was not throwing so badly, only Glen reached such a high level that there was nothing I could do,” said De Zwaan at RTL 7.
Two years ago, De Zwaan reached the semi-finals on the World Matchplay, due to his early exit this year he will fall in the PDC Order of Merit.
“I'm not too worried about that. I have just recovered from shoulder surgery and will give myself until the end of the year to regain some form. I'm still only 24, so my best years are definitely ahead of me. ”

- 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
