World Seniors Darts Masters news: Phil Taylor shows glimpse of old form with John Part whitewash
Phil Taylor progressed to the quarter-final of the World Seniors Masters after thrashing Canada’s John Part.
The Power, who was looking to make amends for his poor display in February's World Seniors Championship, produced a 4-0 whitewash of former world champion John Part.
Taylor enjoyed a steady three-dart average of 84.73, and went on produce 13 and 15 dart legs on his way to the second round.
What's more, the 16-time world champion finished things off in style as he averaged 107 in the final leg of the contest.
Part qualified for the first-round contest following his 4-0 victory over Paul Lim earlier in the day.
However, the Canadian was unable to maintain his 80+ average for the clash with Taylor and subsequently crashed out on the opening day.
Part wasn't the only North American player in action as David Cameron enjoyed a dramatic 4-3 victory over Kevin Painter.
