Can Anyone Stop The Power
You want to win the PDC Darts World Championship 2009 then you need to stop one man, Phil Taylor. Simple! Taylor or ‘The Power’ is a phenonomen in the World of PDC Darts. Since turning professional back in 1988, Phil Taylor has won a remarkable 14 world championships (an even more incredible feat when you consider that PDC Darts wasn’t conceived until 1994). And the current World Number 1 got his defence of the title underway by whitewashing, Colin Monk, 3-0 at Alexandra Palace.
Taylor has got competition in the form of Barneveld, Wade, Anderson and King but competitive competition, I’m none too convinced. There is just something about Taylor that renders his opponents ‘powerless’ when they meet on that ‘oche’. He’s not unbeatable, but he is hard to beat.
Only three players have won the PDC Darts World Championship outwith Taylors 12 victories, those being Dennis Priestley (1994), John Part (2003, 2008) and Raymond van Barneveld (2007). With Taylor crushing Colin Monk 9-0 in the first leg of Round One and then stating, “I didn’t feel right out there, I’ll be better next round.” Must send shivers down those opponents spines and it is nothing to do with the frosty winter weather either.
