Australian darts star Damon Heta has declared his pride at making the last-16 of the world championships for the first time after winning with a flourish at the Alexandra Palace in London.
The Perth tungsten thrower sparkled at just the right moment during his tough third-round battle with Dutchman Berry van Peer, asserting his top-10 quality in a 4-3 victory on Friday afternoon (Saturday AEDT).
And he saved his very best for last at the famed 'Ally Pally' venue, finally extinguishing the stubborn van Peer's challenge in the deciding set with a brilliant, match-sealing 151 checkout - treble 20, treble 17 and double top.
