Luke Woodhouse caused a resounding surprise at the World Grand Prix on Tuesday night by defeating outsider Dave Chisnall 2-0 in sets on his tournament debut.
Moreover, Woodhouse did so convincingly with an average of 95.96 and a finishing percentage of 43 percent. With his average, Woodhouse also joined a special list.
The Englishman's average was the fourth highest average ever by a rookie in his first match at the World Grand Prix. Only three players managed to throw an average of 96 or higher in their first match at the double-in double-out tournament. The record is held by Jeffrey de Zwaan, who debuted in 2018 with an average of 97.87. Following behind them are Gary Anderson (96.86 in 2009) and Ryan Joyce (96.61 in 2020).

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
