Ricky Evans was agonisingly close to a nine-darter at the Zwaantje Masters in Eindhoven on Saturday. After eight perfect darts, he missed double 12 by just a millimetre.
The speedy Englishman had traveled by invitation to the heavily attended tournament in Eindhoven, where Evans eventually lost to Ian White in the final. Had 'Rapid Ricky' hit his arrow on double 12, he would have received an additional 5000 euros in prize money from his participation.
