Darts Orakel, a Twitter account that deals with all kinds of data and statistics, has released a striking piece of news.
This year Michael Smith has already thrown the most finishes of 161 or more, ten to be precise. Bully Boy does better than the World Number One, Gerwyn Price. The Iceman has thrown eight this year, as have Geert Nentjes and Keane Barry.
In third place are Nathan Aspinall, Dimitri Van den Bergh and Dirk van Duijvenbode with seven. Remarkable is that those seven high checkouts from Aubergenius are all 170-finishes.
