John Henderson became a PDC TV title winner for the first time on Sunday evening as him and Peter Wright claimed the World Cup of Darts for Scotland.

Henderson understandably was ecstatic but also lost for words at achieving this feat as Scotland regained the title they lost last year with Wright returning to the team to partner the popular Highlander.
"To go back home as World Cup champions, I'm speechless," said Henderson. "To win this means everything - it's my first PDC title and it's been an honour to play with Peter.
"How he kept his nerve in that last game I don't know. It's been a team effort but I think we've been the best side throughout the whole tournament.
"It's a team game but he's a legend. I've got to thank Peter for everything he's done this week and all the advice.
"He has mentored me and I can't thank him enough. He's captained me so well and looked after me this weekend, and I believe his captaincy won this for us."
