Borland hits nine darter in deciding leg

Scotland’s William Borland produced a brilliant nine-dart finish at the William Hill World Championship to clinch a 3-2 win in his first-round match against Bradley Brooks.

With the scores locked at 2-2 in the deciding set Borland, from East Calder, struck perfection with three treble 20s, followed by two more and treble 19 on his second visit. The 25-year-old then hit two more treble 20s and finished on double 12 to send the Alexandra Palace crowd into raptures.

Blackburn’s Brooks, 21, had hit back from 2-0 down in the decider, having reeled off three successive legs to win the fourth set and extend the match.

“Bradley had a couple of bad legs and I was just thinking to myself, keep going, keep going and we’ll see what happens and then to hit the nine-darter was just unbelievable, I’m loving it,” Borland said.

Think that's the fastest 9 darter I've ever seen.
