Re: Darts 2012
Wade dodges the bullet.
http://www.sportinglife.com/others/n...5.html&BID=678
Quote:
Reigning champion James Wade survived by the skin of his teeth to make it through to the third round of the Speedy Services UK Open.
'The Machine' won 4-3 at the end of a thriller against Stephen Bunting on the main stage at the Reebok in Bolton - though it could have been all so different had 'The Bullet' found the target when it really mattered.
The 27-year-old from St Helens had no less than four chances to seal the biggest upset on a highly-entertaining opening night, including three attempts at double 19 in the deciding leg.

Re: Darts 2012
Thornton stuns Taylor in UK Open.
http://www.sportinglife.com/others/n...9.html&BID=678
Quote:
Scotland's Robert Thornton shocked Phil Taylor 11-5 in the final of the Speedy Services UK Open in Bolton to win his first major title.
The 15-time world champion was attempting to win his fifth UK Open title but he had no answers to the rampant Scotsman in a one-sided final.
Taylor led 2-0 in the best-of-21 leg final but the wheels came off his challenge in the third leg as he missed 10 darts at a double and Thornton hit double one to get on the board.
The Stoke veteran steadied the ship to lead 3-2, but from there on it was almost all one-way traffic.
Thornton hit double top to break and lead 4-3, then took out 106 to lead 5-3. That quickly became 9-3 as Taylor continued to wobble on the finishes as Thornton took ruthless advantage.
Taylor did manage to win the 13th leg but Thornton continued to hold with ease and at 10-5 he hit a 121 checkout with a bullseye finish to take the title.
He also wins £40,000 and a place in the Grand Slam of Darts.
"I'm very proud," Thornton told Sky Sports. "My kids are going to be up jumping all over the place.

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.

Quote:
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.
