VIDEO: Peter Wright misses double 12 for nine-darter at New Zealand Darts Masters

Peter Wright has shown at the World Series tournaments 'Down Under' that his form is slowly starting to return. Almost, 'Snakebite' managed to underline that return to form with a nine-darter at the New Zealand Darts Masters.

The Scot faced Gerwyn Price in the quarterfinals of the World Series tournament in Hamilton on Saturday. With the score at 2-1 in Wright's favour, the two-time world champion started the fourth leg with two 180s. Wright then hit the treble 20 and treble 19, allowing him to aim for a nine darter. However, the double 12 was missed, preventing the New Zealand crowd from seeing a perfect leg.

Thus, Wright remains stuck on three nine-darters. In 2015 and 2017, "Snakebite" threw a leg in nine darts at a Players Championship tournament. In 2020, Wright produced a TV nine at the Premier League Darts.
