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.

- I might actually enter this next year,for Β£5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
