Why I Love the Darts: Andy Sullivan

Top English golfer Andy Sullivan, a three-time European Tour winner in 2015, tells us why he loves the darts.

Why do you #lovethedarts ?

Over the last year five years it's become such as massive spectacle. I've always loved watching it and around Nuneaton I used to play in a lot of pubs' pool teams and it's always been something I've enjoyed doing.

I just love watching it because it's so exciting and the guys they have doing it now... I mean you play at home and you think you're alright but these guys are unbelievable.

Here's a look back to all the 9 dart finishes from the World Darts Championship.

Do you have a favourite darts player?

Adrian Lewis is my favourite darts player by a mile. I love the guy to bits, he's a bit of show man and I love the way he goes about it.

When was the last time you played darts?

I've actually got a darts board in my house so I play pretty much every day. I practice darts more than I practice golf - that's how much I practice.

Have you ever hit a 180?

Yes, which is better than winning on the golf tour because it's harder than golf!

Which is your favourite darts tournament to watch?

I love the World Grand Prix where they have to hit a double in. They're awesome at hitting treble 20s so it's good to see when they keep missing doubles to start - I love that.

Your favourite darting moment?

I remember in 2012 (part of the 2013 tournament) it was Adrian Lewis versus Michael van Gerwen in the quarter-finals of the World Championship and they both averaged over 105 and it was ridiculous. I was sitting there watching it and hadn't moved for an hour and a half because it was so incredible.

Fancy dress outfit of choice?

Being how short I am I'd have to go as a Smurf.
