Michael Smith books Last 16 spot at PDC World Darts Championship after high quality O'Connor win

Michael Smith is into the Last 16 of the 2021/22 PDC World Darts Championship after taking out William O'Connor in a 4-2 win as the third round continues at the Alexandra Palace.
Smith produced 10 180's and a 97.5 average over a longer format than his statement win last time out but it is still top quality from 'Bully Boy'.
It was a dream start for O'Connor as he shunned a 132 checkout from Smith to seal the opening set 3-1 but missing two darts for the set in leg four saw Smith force a decider with a 64 finish before then converting double five to make it 1-1 in sets.
Smith took a third consecutive set including a brilliant 124 as he looked to move towards the brink at 3-1 up but O'Connor dug deep and made it 3-2 in sets after Smith had missed a match dart.
'Bully Boy' didn't make the same mistake again though taking it in a decider to move through.

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024

- Once again Madhouse bottles it just like last year v Graf. Not sure why he's been brilliant all year. Definite similarities between this year and last though. He has to sort it out.medinabello23-12-2024
