Royden Lam caused a huge upset by eliminating Gary Anderson in the first round of the Shanghai Darts Masters. Lam claimed victory after a legdecider. The 42-year-old from Hong Kong took optimally profit from Anderson, who missed plenty of doubles in the beginning of the game.
The Scotsman should have been 3-0 up, but instead he lost two of the first three legs. However, Anderson showed resilience as he came back from a deficit twice. But, Lam had the advantage to start the final leg and took the win as he hit double 8.
Lam is the only Asian representative in the quarter-finals of the Shanghai Darts Masters. Michael van Gerwen delighted the Chinese crowd earlier this afternoon as he produced a 170 checkout.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £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
