Peter Wright defied double trouble as he saw off Toru Suzuki 6-3 to begin his Bahrain Darts Masters campaign on Thursday evening.

Wright albeit not as much of a statement as The Grinch at the World Championship dressed for the occasion with the Bahrain flag being half and half on his shirt and he said this was appreciated by the fans.

"I enjoyed it," said Wright. "The outfit is down to Jo, and everyone appreciated the outfit and my hair - even on the way to the venue there were cars beeping to us when they saw me.

"It's good to be pushed and I'm happy to get through the game. We all know that the players who have come through the Asian Tour are getting better every year, and every country we go to they're improving.

"I've got a difficult game next against Rob Cross, who played really well last year. It's good to be in Bahrain and I'm looking to try and win the beautiful trophy tomorrow."
