Scott Waites thumps Jeff Smith to win second world title

Scott Waites won his second BDO World Championship title with a 7-1 thumping of Canadian Jeff Smith in Frimley Green. 

Englishman Waites, the 2003 champion, won the first five sets and there was no coming back for the unseeded Smith, whose run did not have the fairytale ending he would have hoped.

It was by no means one-way traffic, and Waites twice had to come from two legs to one down in the opening five sets as Smith failed to make the most of his chances.
