Lewis hits jackpot with first world title

ADRIAN LEWIS produced one of the most memorable displays in the history of the PDC World Darts Championships as he landed an historic nine-dart finish en route to lifting the title with a 7-5 victory over Gary Anderson last night.

The 25-year-old from Stoke, schooled in the game by 15-times winner Phil Taylor, racked up the first ever nine-darter in a world final as he lifted his first PDC crown.

He also landed 20 maximum 180s as part of a match total of 30 to beat Simon Whitlock’s record of 58 in the tournament a year ago, with his tally ending at 60.
