Kist hits nine-darter at PDC World Championship

Christian Kist hit a nine-darter in his PDC World Championship first-round match against Madars Razma.

The Dutchman is the first player to seal the perfect leg in the tournament since Michael Smith when beating Michael van Gerwen in the 2023 final.

Kist, the 2012 BDO world champion at Lakeside, collects £60,000 for the feat, with the same amount being awarded by sponsors to both charity and one spectator inside Alexandra Palace.

The 38-year-old's brilliant finish sealed the opening set against the Latvian.
