Wonderful William O'Connor races into the second round with whitewash win over Bhav Patel
PDC
A wonderful performance from William O'Connor has seen the Irish ace race into the second round of the PDC World Darts Championship.
A massive odds on favourite with the bookmakers, O'Connor proved why, racing through the first set averaging over 104 with a perfect 3/3 on the doubles, Patel simply had no answer to the question posed.

Although Patel got his first dart at a double in the opening leg of set 2, missing tops for a 157, O'Connor continued to be dominant, taking a second straight set 3-0 to move within touching distance of round 2.
Continued brilliance from the Irishman in set 3 saw the one way traffic continue as he stretched his winning run to nine straight legs, booking his place in round 2 against Chris Dobey.

Yes it's a World Championship but the quality of the qualifiers and certain nations do no warrant a place. O Connor is a nothing player and has strolled into the second round without having to change into second gear.
Not forgetting, Mr Legohead is making his debut tonight, not a hair out of place.

- The Premier League isn’t a meritocracy as it’s not the top 8 players in the rankings, either at the start of the league or now. Dobey currently 9, Price 12. Aside from the top four Sky get picks, thats not meritocracy.Mysstree07-04-2025

- I agree. There needs to be a points system and preferably just a rolling one year. World Championship should earn the most points though it can be argued that the current qualification system does see a fair few players qualify from regional country qualifiers who would struggle to hold down a place on the Pro Tour. If prize money won is going to remain as the determining factor for ranking then the World Championship should just consist of the 128 Tour Card Holders. Another option would be to take the World Championship out of the rankings and have it as the stand alone pinnacle that you qualify for by winning certain tournaments or your ranking position, sort of like a GSOD+.Mysstree05-04-2025
- The Premier league has literally become a pantomime with a hero and villain, all thats needed is an older dart player in drag to play the joke old woman / queen and a younger woman to play the male hero. Barry is probably working on it now.Mysstree04-04-2025
