Grand Slam of Darts

I've been following the Grand Slam of Darts on the PDC website and have noted some good performances by Pennsylvania star Darin Young. The format appears to be group round-robins with the top two from each of eight groups advancing to the top 16. Darin battled out of his group with wins over Colin Lloyd and Terry Jenkins. In his 5-4 win over Jenkins, Darin averaged a respectable 92.43 per round. In the top-16 Darin went down 10-4 to Raymond Van Barneveld, who was shooting well. Still, not a bad run for Darin.

A lot of the usual suspects are left in the top 8, including Taylor, Barneveld, and Terry Jenkins, Gary Anderson, Mervyn King, Mark Webster, and Darryl Fitton, along with Australian Simon Whitlock. It will be interesting to see who comes out on top.
