Lakeside newcomer Christian Kist showed he has lots of vroom, vroom as he motored into the second round, dumping out sixth seed Jan Dekker 3-2.
The 25-year-old from Vroomshop in central east Holland made a dramatic entrance, his fast-throwing emphatic style endearing him to the Frimley Green faithful as he won the all-Netherlands clash in a 48-minute encounter.
Kist is the latest player from the land of tulips and windmills to star at Lakeside, ironically dismissing the Dutch star who burst on to the scene 12 months ago and was expected to make a big impact this year.
Dekker known as “The Coat” marched confidently on to the stage in a trademark white jacket his opponent opting for a more traditional black playing shirt.
The match began at feverish pace as both players pounded the 60 sector with vengeance, Dekker hitting a 180 in the second leg but it was debutant Kist, who works on the roads, who laid down his intentions with a 3-1 success with the throw.
Both players hit maximums – a brace from Kist - in the next set as all four legs went with the throwing advantage. Kist fired in his third 180 to steal the momentum and snatched the advantage to exit on 81 with double 16, leaving a shell-shocked Dekker 2-0 down.
Games went with the darts in the next set, Kist agonising after missing bull for a huge 121 finish in the second leg. A brace of 140s steered Kist ahead in the next, Dekker snatching the leg against the throw with a 58 finish to pull back a set.
A maximum steered the roadworker to the opening leg of fourth set against the throw, Dekker delivering an 11-dart reply finished on 81 and defending his throw in the next. Despite hitting a maximum and 134, Kist nipped in to take out 64 with double 18 to level the set.
It was nip and tuck to the double, Dekker missing three match-saving doubles and then Kist two for victory, as a tense Dekker missed a further two darts for double six before hitting the all-important green bit to take the match into a deciding fifth set.
The opening three legs went with the throw, a 120 score paving the way for a match-winning double 10 for Kist - dart’s latest sensational young star.

Flying Dutchman Willy van de Wiel charged into the second round, sweeping aside former warhouseman Dave Prins 3-0 in a rapid 37 minutes.
It was clinical display from the 29-year-old 10th seed from southern Holland, who reaches the second round for the third time.
The Dutch carpenter nailed his intentions in the opening sets, annexing six of the opening seven legs as Peterlee’s Prins screwed his face in agony, suffering his third consecutive opening round dismissal.
The Dutch ace, wearing glasses for the first time in the world championship, stamped his authority right from the off in the opening set with a clinical 3-0 success, Prins struggling to settle in his third appearance on the Frimley Green stage with a new set of 26 gram darts.
Prins powered into the second set to take the opening leg with the throw on double 18, the Dutchman taking the next two and then opening up a 2-0 match lead after Prins failed to pressurise Van de Wiel.
There was more of the same in the third set as Van de Wiel, with the throwing advantage took a 2-1 lead and then booked his passage in the second round with a 54 checkout, completed on double 16.
Afterwards the delighted Dutchman said: “Dave can play much better than that but the first round is always difficult.”
And the 10th seed said that when he feels good on stage his play speeds up.
“My hand shakes when I play so I try to throw quickly. I feel good when I am throwing fast.”
