"If you don't enjoy yourself, what's the point in being there?" - Scott Williams determined to enjoy every second of World Championship run
PDCFriday, 22 December 2023 at 10:30
Scott Williams provided a shock in the second round of the World Darts Championship. The 33-year-old Englishman defeated seventh seeded Danny Noppert 3-0.
"I'm obviously really happy. Gutted about the nine, but I won the game and that's what we're here to do," said Williams in his post-match press conference, referencing the fact he missed double 18 for the first nine-dart finish at this year's Championships. "Everyone knows that Danny can do better. But he's had a lot of family time with the new baby and everyone knows what babies are like, they're hard work!"
'Shaggy' will take on the winner of the duel between Martin Schindler and Jermaine Wattimena in the next round. "I've got to bring out my good game, bring out the maximums and the checkout percentage that I did tonight because 50% is going to win you most games."
Williams looks toward the remainder of the World Championship with great confidence. "I feel good up on the stage. I handle myself well and I just enjoy it. I try not to give it too big but at the same time, you have to enjoy yourself. If you don't enjoy yourself, what's the point in being there?"

- Yep... that is correct... that XY male will be at home with the other men.MrYnyslas197123-10-2024
- True, Richie. Broke my heart when Mr Senna lost his life,,, the man cared about others too. Senna had an Austrian flag in his car and was going to do a lap of honour in memory of Roland Ratzenberger, who tragically lost his life on the same weekend, sadly, Senna never got the chance. Mr Senna would have surpassed Schumacher—no doubt.MrYnyslas197123-10-2024
- What a undignified way to bow out of the darts for the greatest darts player ever, absolutely the best. Nobody was as dedicated or committed or even half as good as Phil. He completely dominated darts, not only the greatest darts player ever but also one of the greatest sportsman ever. Ayrton Senna is my ultimate hero but Phil won 16 World Championships, Eric only won 5 and that won't be surpassed. Thank you Phil, not my most favourite player but certainly the greatest and loved watching you completely destroy every opponent, almost never missed a treble or any check out. Stoke definitely needs a statue of Phil Taylor !richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
- I don't have a problem with someone being whoever they want to be, but ultimately there is a Ladies and Mens format for a reason. What is going to stop substandard men claiming that they are transgender and entering the ladies format for an opportunity to increase their profile, prize money, ranking etc etc. We know that the current crop of PDC players will suck up to van Leuven and will not speak out.richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
- The bottom line is Beau will be a triple World Champion soon. She is so many levels better than the rest of the ladies. Lorraine and Aileen have never really raised their game, I really expected the quality of the ladies game to have improved but excluding Beau, it seems to have detiorated. Beau is too modest and could easily mix with the men and beat most of them.richieburnettrocks23-10-2024
