Peter Wright made no bones about it after his surprising elimination at the World Darts Championship. The Scot surprisingly went down 3-0 against Jim Williams in the second round on Wednesday night.
"To be honest I don't know what happened," Wright admitted to the PDC post-match. ''Obviously I was nowhere near good enough to compete against Jim Williams, who is a fantastic player."

The Scot could find no explanation for his incredibly below-par performance. “I haven't got a clue, practice has been going well but I don't know what happened,'' Wright said. "Jim was the better player on the day. Maybe it would have been a different game if I'd hit one of the doubles to win the second set but I didn't feel confident of actually getting it to be honest; it was 'hopefully I hit it' rather than 'this one's going in'."
In any case, the two-time world champion is going to drop a few places in the world rankings. He falls from spot three to seventh place in the provisional Order of Merit. It is possible the damage will get worse for Wright later this World Championship. "I just played terribly tonight and that's it.”
