Stephen Bunting taking inspiration from Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool revamp: "It’s all refreshed and that’s the way I feel"

Since Stephen Bunting made the switch from 12-gram darts to 18-gram darts, "The Bullet" has been in the form of his life, regularly posting averages over the 100 mark.
For example, Bunting threw an average of 111 in his qualifying match against Martin Schindler to qualify for the Grand Slam of Darts. In September, the Englishman was also in the final of the German Darts Open. ''I compare myself to Liverpool,'' Bunting said of his resurgence. "Liverpool are phase 2.0 now with the new midfield; it’s all refreshed and that’s the way I feel.''

Bunting joined the PDC in 2014 and had two good opening campaigns with two semi-finals and four quarter-finals in major events. However, between 2016 and 2020, Bunting reached only four major quarter-finals.
More recently, Bunting is back on the upward trend. He was in the last four at the World Darts Championship and the World Grand Prix in 2021, and at the last World Darts Championship, "The Bullet" again made it to the quarter-finals.
“I think the first part of my career in the PDC I was good, but I was never brilliant, and now I feel like I can make myself brilliant. I’m dangerous, and if I can keep playing the way I’m playing at the minute, then I believe I can win titles, but I’ve got to keep doing it. It’s one thing talking about great averages, but I’m not winning tournaments, so it’s about time I turn those averages into wins, and I’m trying the best I possibly can to make that happen. I’m really enjoying the ride to be honest, and I believe that I can go all the way.”

This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
