Berry van Peer had an excellent debut at the Darts World Cup. The 27-year-old darts player from Sprundel won 3-2 against Englishman Luke Woodhouse on Thursday afternoon. “It was very close,” he told Viaplay afterwards.
With a 2-1 lead in sets, Van Peer had two chances to close out the match. Both times he failed and Woodhouse came back to 2-2. Van Peer finished it off in the fifth and deciding set.
“It felt a bit tense. I am very happy that I won,” said Van Peer. He is number 107 in the world. The darts player will face Northern Irishman Josh Rock against Viaplay in the second round on Saturday.
