Darts' Shining Star: Raymond Smith's Meteoric Rise The New Zealand Darts Masters has thrown up its fair share of surprises, but none as astonishing as Stephen Bunting's first round exit at the hands of Raymond Smith.
The Australian's 6 2 victory over the third seed is a significant upset that has sent shockwaves through the darts community. Smith's performance was nothing short of remarkable – a 99.
81 average and an 86% conversion rate on doubles is an impressive feat, especially when sealed with a stunning 124 checkout on the bullseye.
