Dimitri van den Bergh has produced the performance of the tournament so far by defeating Lourence Ilagan 3-0 with a statement display at the PDC World Darts Championship.
Van den Bergh will return after Christmas with a 97.2 average, 53% on the doubles and after a close second set, he produced when it mattered most in the final set with a 164 to win. Superb from 'The Dreammaker'.
Van den Bergh breezed through the opening set without dropping a leg while the second set was a lot more close.
Ilagan took out a 120 checkout to draw level and was throwing at 2-2 for the set after a break. But despite that, Van den Bergh took out 36 to seal the set and go one away.
Van den Bergh held on double eight to open the third set. He missed 124 initially but returned for double 11 to go one away from victory. He sealed it in style with a 164 checkout on the bull.

- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
