NINE-DARTER! 🎯 What a start to this weekend's Winmau Challenge Tour action, as Henry Coates strikes perfection in his opening round tie against Steve Haggerty! 📋 bit.ly/24CT11
Henry Coates managed to throw a nine-darter at the 11th tournament of the PDC Challenge Tour 2024 on Friday. For the 17-year-old talent, it is his first perfect leg on the PDC Tour.
Coates managed to throw a nine-darter in the opening round of PDC Challenge Tour 11 against Steve Haggerty. He started the fourth leg of the match with two 180 scores, after which Coates produced a 141 finish. He did eventually lose the match 5-3 however.
Coates' nine-darter is the fourth of the season on the 2024 Challenge Tour. Earlier this year, Jenson Walker, Kevin Burness and Thomas Lovely also managed to finish a leg in nine arrows.
The 17-year-old Coates is in his second season on the PDC Tour, having also been in action at the JDC tournaments from 2019 through 2023. This is a circuit for top talents aged 10 through 17. There, Coates regularly managed to win tournaments and regularly faced Luke Littler.
In 2023 and 2024, Coates tried to grab a PDC Tour Card at the Q-School, but failed. This does allow him to compete on the Challenge Tour. Earlier this season, the Englishman reached the quarterfinals of a Development Tour tournament for the first time in his career.

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
