Luke Woodhouse creates history with the first kitchen nine-darter in PDC Darts Home Tour
LUKE WOODHOUSE created history last night with the first kitchen nine-darter.
The world No 57 hit the perfect leg as he whitewashed favourite Gerwyn Price 5-0 on the second night of the PDC Home Tour.
Woody, who hit a 113.9 average against the Welshman, also beat Ted Evetts 5-2 and Rowby-John Rodriguez 5-2 to top Group Two with a 100 per cent record.
This was a major shock for the inaugural Lockdown Live darts event, which is offering fans some competitive sport during the coronavirus crisis.
And for the second night running, the big name failed to progress to the second round of the competition.
Price, 35, said: “I’ve enjoyed it. It has been good. I wanted to win and stay in the tournament.
“It’s a bit of fun. It wasn’t meant to be. Luke played fantastic and always seems to play his best against me.
“The scoring was fine but when I went for the doubles, I felt edgy.
“My advice to others is prepare well like you would for any tournament.

“The first legs were nerve-racking and it showed.”
Over the weekend the PDC took extra security measures to ensure the feed would be fine after they had been hit by a cyber-attack.
It is believed organisers have traced five IP addresses that were used to launch the attack on the opening night.
