Peter Wright managed to qualify fairly easily for the quarterfinals at the Australian Darts Masters in Wollongong on Friday afternoon. He defeated Simon Whitlock 6-1, and also played a good match with an average of 95.42.
Wright had an immediate break via a 78 finish and took a 4-0 lead with a 16-darter and a 14-darter, among others. It was not until the fifth leg that Whitlock got on the scoreboard with a 21-darter. Wright then stepped up a level and ended the match with an 11-darter and a 15-darter.
''Simon has been unlucky recently, but luckily for me he didn’t turn up tonight,” admitted Wright on PDC.tv. The Scot has no lack of confidence despite his mediocre results in recent months.

“Mentally, I feel like I can beat anybody in the world, but if you ask any dart player that they’d all say the same. I haven’t got to prove a point to anybody, and I believe I will be winning majors this year.”
On Saturday, Wright will be back in action at the Australian Darts Masters. He will then play Rob Cross in the last eight. 'Voltage' narrowly triumphed 6-5 against Haupai Puha in the first round.

- 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

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
