A 9-darter live in the kitchen – world class at a corona tournament
We have known for a long time that darts is more telegenic than any other sport. This also benefits the arrow throwers, where all sporting events had to be canceled. The association PDC organized a home tour on which every player walks to the window at home. Fans can be present worldwide using a webcam.
Austrian Rowby-John Rodriguez had to ask his neighbors if he could exceptionally throw in the evening – when the arrows fly into the board, the muffled noise on the other side of the wall is annoying. He was allowed to.
There was a highlight on the second evening. Luke Woodhouse, who threw number 4 Michael Smith out of the tournament at the previous World Cup, did a perfect leg. The Englishman scored 501 points with just nine darts. In the end, he beat Welsh Gerwyn Price 5-0.
128 players take part in the Home Tour, four are in action every night and compete against each other in a group. Because only the winner gets ahead, Price is already out, Woodhouse got three wins. Price, the last two-time winner of the Grand Slam of Darts, shares his fate with the reigning world champion. Scotsman Peter Wright had failed on Jamie Lewis on the evening of the start.
Rowby-John Rodriguez’s neighbors can watch television again in peace: The Austrian lost all three games and left without singing or sounding. (R.A.M)
