Re: Darts 2012
Pipe stuns nine-dart Wes.
Quote:
Just 24 hours after Michael van Gerwen's quickfire nine-darter, Newton lifted the roof again with a perfect leg midway through his last-16 clash with Pipe.
Newton followed a 180 with a 177 and nailed a 144-checkout on double 12 to move 6-5 ahead, and the world No 5 looked in control at 10-8 ahead before Pipe produced a stirring finish.
Pipe, who had earlier taken out a superb 132 finish with two bulls and a double 16, reeled off five straight legs to reach the quarter-finals for the first time in a major tournament.

In Thursday's opening match, Andy Hamilton reeled off seven successive legs to earn an impressive 13-6 victory over former BDO world champion Mark Webster.
The Welshman had fought back from 6-3 down to level at 6-6, but Hamilton upped his game and backed up his high scoring with quality finishing to seal a last-eight clash with Phil Taylor, who beat Ian White 13-3.
