WHITWELL-ON-THE-HILL’S Terry Temple averaged 104.37 in a 5-0 thrashing of South African number one Devon Peterson to claim the latest York Darts Promotions Open title at Acomb WMC.
Temple, pictured, took out legs of 12, 13, 15, 15 and 17 darts to defeat fellow PDC player Peterson and claim the £300 first prize in the final of the event, sponsored by Club & Bar Salvation in association with Streamline Taxis and Red Dragon Darts.
Earlier, Temple claimed two 13 and two 14-dart legs to defeat Joe Cullen, who had thrown two 180s and checked out in 15 darts to book his place in the last four.
Peterson enjoyed the fastest leg of the day with his 11-dart effort helping him overcome York’s Rich Corner 4-3 in the semi finals.
Other quick legs were recorded by Bob Pinder (180 for 15), Jamie Ellam (143 finish for 12), Dave Lord (180 for 14) and Brandon Walsh (14, including a 100 finish).
John Quantock was another 180 scorer while Temple’s 164 was the biggest checkout of the day.
