"You could say I’ve taken the torch off Simon" - Heta the premier Aussie player heading into New South Wales Darts Masters

Damon Heta begins his only chance this year to play in front of his home crowd in Australia on Friday. 'The Heat' counts at the New South Wales Darts Masters as one of eight PDC stars to compete against eight local darters.
Heta has been going strong over the past 18 months, winning the World Cup of Darts along with compatriot Simon Whitlock and advancing into the top-16 of the world rankings.
The Australian is happy to return home. ''It’s absolutely massive. I’m loving every minute of it. I’m just soaking all the time up with my friends and family at the moment," he told pdc.tv.
For several years Heta has been considered Australia's best darter, having slowly taken over this role from compatriot Whitlock. ''You could say I’ve taken the torch off Simon for a bit. He’s held it for a long while, so I want to do good things, I want to win titles and keep that momentum going."
The World Series tournament has been a fixture on the PDC calendar for several years. That has caused the level of Australian darters to rise. ''The PDC have been coming Down Under for ten years now, so players are getting the experience," Heta agreed. ''It’s time for us to push on now, because the standard is there.”

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- 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
