I did think John would have given me more of a push but I didn't give him a chance

Phil Taylor

He is the best darts player ever

John Part

Taylor won the opening two legs of the first set before Part sounded an early warning of his capabilities by throwing a 12-dart leg and going out on 127 in leg three.

But Taylor responded with a 14-dart leg to win the set and continued his domination in set two when he did not even allow Part a shot at a double.

The eight-times world champion was well on the way to making it nine as he raced through the second set, checking out on 121 on the way to doubling his early advantage.

The procession continued in the third set although this time Part did miss a shot at bullseye to win the first leg.

Halted sequence

Taylor then went out on 167 - the highest checkout of the tournament which earned him an extra �1,000 - on the way to increasing his lead to 3-0.

And the 40-year-old from Newcastle-under-Lyme made it 10 legs in a row as he won the fourth set 3-0 but the Canadian wasted no fewer than seven opportunities at doubles which would have halted that sequence.

There was no let-up in the one-way traffic in the fifth set as the champion breezed through another three legs, helped by an awesome 10-dart finish in the first of them.

After losing 13 consecutive legs, Part received a standing ovation from the Circus Tavern crowd when he checked out 120 to win the first leg of the sixth set.

But, Part's joy was short-lived as Taylor reeled off the next three legs to move 6-0 ahead.

The man from Ontario won another leg in the final set, but he could not prevent Taylor from completing the whitewash and claiming yet another world crown.
