Peter Wright in claiming the 2020 PDC World Championship became part of an exclusive club in becoming the fourth player to survive match darts en route.
Wright saw one missed match dart against Noel Malicdem in one of the least amounts of match darts that have been hit against him,
This is alongside Adrian Lewis who in 2012 survived a match dart; during his tie against James Wade.
Rob Cross survived the most over the course of two games; with Michael Van Gerwen missing 6 and Michael Smith missing two.
Raymond van Barneveld is next up; as Colin Lloyd missed four to knock him out. It shows what a bit of luck can do in a run like that.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
