World Champion Smith ends run of Van Barneveld, moves into Bahrain Darts Masters final
PDCFriday, 13 January 2023 at 19:56
Michael Smith spoke after winning his opening round about his wife, Dagmara wanting the gold palm tree trophy for the fireplace at home, well he is one game away from doing just that at the Bahrain Darts Masters.
World Champion and World Number One, Smith is into the final and on the verge of back-to-back TV titles after seeing off legendary Dutchman, Raymond van Barneveld in a 7-5 win.
Sealing it by aid of five 180's and a 98.3 average, he has lived up to his billing as the World Number One so far this weekend and has Gerwyn Price or Rob Cross in the final.
He began by moving into a 4-3 lead averaging 106 early on. Barney held at 5-4 down but the break soon counted with 101 not pinned by Van Barneveld and Smith went one away only to miss multiple match darts and allow Van Barneveld to go one behind.
But after setting up double eight from 144, he pinned it for a 16-darter to seal the deal.

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
