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.
