A 15-year-old darts prodigy, Mitchell Lawrie, has impressed the darting world with his exceptional skills at the WDF World Championship held at Lakeside. Lawrie made history by becoming the youngest player to secure a victory at Lakeside, defeating Tomoya Maruyama and Jason Brandon with remarkable performances, including five maximums and impressive checkouts. His outstanding display earned him the highest average of 97.21 at the tournament.
Luke Littler, amazed by Lawrie’s talent, expressed his admiration on the WDF Darts Instagram account, calling the young player “a joke.” Lawrie, filled with pride after his victories, described his exhilaration at beating the number two seed, Jason Brandon, a seasoned player who reached the semi-finals last year. Lawrie reflected on his fast start and exceptional gameplay, noting his satisfaction with his performance.
Lawrie’s stellar performance included finishing each leg in the first set within less than 15 darts, coming close to a possible nine-darter before executing an impressive 134 checkout. Despite a brief setback in the final set, Lawrie regrouped to secure his victory against Brandon, crediting the supportive crowd for boosting his morale throughout the match.
