The thing that stood out for me from that game wasn’t the crowd or the bunting win, it was the great call from the referee to disallow a dart. Not something you see often👏
VIDEO: Referee declares throw by Luke Humphries invalid at Masters
PDCTuesday, 06 February 2024 at 09:45
Russ Bray's replacement immediately made his mark last weekend. Charlie Corstorphine invalidated a throw by reigning world champion Luke Humphries.
The remarkable moment occurred in the second-round match between Stephen Bunting and Luke Humphries. With the score, 9-7 in Bunting's favour, Humphries was on 56 in the seventeenth leg. Humphries threw his first arrow into the single 16 and then was aiming to keep his hopes alive by pinning tops. 'Cool Hand Luke' threw his second dart into the single 5, however, which prevented him from getting a second chance at the double.
Out of frustration, Humphries then threw his third arrow at the board while he was already stepping on the oche. That is not allowed by the rules and so Corstorphine disallowed the last arrow and the referee recorded a score of 21.

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.
