Peter Wright reacts to “lucky” win at the 2020 Ladbrokes Masters

Peter Wright admits he was “lucky” to pick up The Masters title after watching Michael Smith miss three match darts.

A month on from his World Championship triumph at Alexandra Palace, Wright extended his winning streak to ten matches as he clinched a second successive televised title.

The world number two watched Smith squander three match darts in the deciding leg of a dramatic final before returning to seal the deal with his last dart in hand.

“I’m a very lucky player tonight, Michael should’ve won that,” admitted Wright, who pockets the £60,000 top prize.

“I’ve been in his position many times before, so I know how he’s feeling and it’s not nice.

“But I’m obviously over the moon to win the first tournament of the year and hopefully there will be many more.”
