For the first time in his career, Haupai Puha managed to win a match at the New Zealand Darts Masters on Friday. He surprisingly triumphed 6-2 against Dimitri van den Bergh.
The New Zealander played a particularly strong match in front of his own crowd. After Van den Bergh took a 2-1 lead, Puha turned the game around thanks to three 100+ finishes.
"It's awesome," said a delighted Puha post-match. "To do what I did in front of the New Zealand crowd is an honour and a privilege."
Puha is incredibly proud of his achievement. "I'm very happy - it's one of the best moments of my career. I treated it like it was just another game in the garage. The practice wasn't too good but getting up there I was hitting what I wanted to hit - I did the checkouts that I needed to do." he concluded.

- 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
- 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
