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.

This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
