Simon Whitlock checks out 150 with three bulls to win match and fans lose their minds

It was a case of 'Wizard' by name and Wizard bu nature for Simon Whitlock at the Dutch Darts Championship in Zwolle last week.

In Sunday's third round tie against Daniel Larsson, the Australian was cruising at 5-1 up in the best-of-11 contest, when the Swede seemed set to take a leg back by leaving himself 40. But he hadn't banked on Whitlock, who had a shot of 150 first, having one last trick up his sleeve.

The 53-year-old had the confidence to take out bullseye first up, leaving himself 100 in two darts. Normally from there, the top players would attempt a treble 20 and then double top finish.
