''I was gutted to miss the nine-darter,'' Humphries responded afterwards. The reigning world champion did manage to throw a 10-darter and a 12-darter. ''You do feel a little bit of nerves because you want to give the crowd something special. It would have been a great moment, but regardless of that, it was a really good performance.”
On Sunday afternoon, Humphries will play in the last sixteen against Ross Smith, who in turn dealt with Luke Woodhouse (6-4). Humphries won the Euro Tour tournament in Munich earlier this year.
