Smith wins without losing a leg, Gurney easily through to quarter-finals
PDCFriday, 13 July 2018 at 14:55
Michael Smith has noticed the third whitewash in the first round of the Shanghai Darts Masters. The former world youth champion left Xiaochen Zong with no chance: 6-0. Daryl Gurney booked a 6-1 victory over Lourence Illagan.
Just as earlier on the afternoon, the Asian players were not able to cause upsets against the established order of the PDC. Nevertheless, Smith showed a very stable display with an average of 98, three maximum scores and a checkout percentage of forty percent.
Gurney dropped one leg against Ilagan, who certainly had opportunities to take more legs. The Filipino missed nine darts on the doubles, divided over four different legs.

- 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
