Martijn Kleermaker produced a superb win on the opening day of the Dutch Darts Masters dumping out Michael Smith in a 6-4 win.

Kleermaker produced six 180's as well as back-to-back brilliance with a 124 checkout and 78 to win and he lauded praise on Smith afterwards heightening the win even more.

“Michael Smith is the best player in the world right now, so to beat him in front of my home crowd is awesome,” reflected Kleermaker, who averaged 96 and missed just two darts at a double.

“This was an amazing game. That 78 finish is probably one of the best 78 checkouts I’ve hit in my life!”
