Ryan Searle will be Joe Cullen's opponent in the third round of the World Darts Championship. 'Heavy Metal' easily won 3-1 in sets over Tomoya Goto on Saturday night.
The Japanese had caused a surprise in the first round by eliminating Ian White, but played not at that level against Searle. The former major finalist won the first two sets and seemed to be heading for a straight-sets victory.
