Notable statistic: No one has thrown more maximums with opening three darts than Mike De Decker this year

Christopher Kempf, in charge of all kinds of data and statistics at the PDC, has brought out a new, interesting statistic.

Kempf calculated which PDC Tour Card holder this year threw the most maximum scores (171, 174, 177 and 180) with his first three darts in a leg. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, we find in first place Mike De Decker. The Belgian threw in 275 legs 42 times with his first three darts a maximum score, good for a percentage of 15.27%.

In second place is Gary Anderson. 'The Flying Scotsman' managed to throw a maximum score 46 times with his first three darts in 311 legs for now, good for a percentage of 14.79%.

The top three is completed by Luke Littler. He already threw many more legs than the first two this year (664) and managed to get a maximum score 98 times with his first three darts. The Nuke' thus ends up with a percentage of 14.76%.
