‘Tis the darting season and, over the festive period, we’ve become accustomed to seeing the best of the best at flinging tungsten consistently nail maximums.
But Larry Butler wasn’t so lucky when he was thrashed by Glen Durrant at the BDO World Championships on Wednesday.
Butler’s performance was summed up by these three darts, thrown when he was 3-0 down, that earned him a total of nine.
Three attempts at treble 20 resulted in three wayward darts that stuck directly in the treble one.
