Part beats Taylor

World Matchplay Update: DARTS NEWS

PART SPOILS TAYLOR'S PARTY

In an incredible night at the World Matchplay, two times world champion John Part has sensationally knocked Phil Taylor out of the tournament winning by 16 legs to 11. The match was of the highest standard with Taylor going off to a 4-1 lead with Part throwing disappointingly. Part stormed back in the second session to level the game 5-5. From then on it was neck and neck the whole way with no break of throw as Part led 12-11. Whatever Taylor threw part matched it and vice versa - the 140s & 180s were going in for fun. Part broke Taylor to lead 13-11 and then made it 14-11 with a superb 108 checkout. His nerve held as his whipped off the next two legs and 16-11 to Part. Afterwards Part said, "I don't care about the rest of the tournament. That was the final".
He later changed his mind slightly remembering when he beat Taylor in the Vegas Desert Classic semi-final only to lose to Peter Manley in the final. Part said, "I won't let that happen again. I want Manley."
