Bunting Wins in Belfast as Rock's Nine-Darter Brings Down the House
SSE Arena, Belfast
Review
Stephen Bunting claimed a stunning Night 4 victory in Belfast, but the defining image of the evening was Josh Rock achieving a nine-dart finish in his quarter-final against Gian van Veen — in front of his home crowd. Rock hit the perfect leg only to lose 2–6, but was rewarded with £30,000 worth of 18-carat gold darts from BetMGM. Bunting then produced one of the performances of the season, whitewashing Jonny Clayton 6–0 in the semi and cruising to a 6–2 final win over van Veen.
