GARY ANDERSON produced an incredible piece of sportsmanship against Callan Rydz.
The veteran darts star overcame his opponent 6-4 at the Players Championship 26.
Gary Anderson took exception to noise on the floor
He told someone to be quiet and felt he distracted Callan Rydz
Anderson bust out on purpose which allowed Rydz to win the leg
The tournament is a floor event rather than the stage – meaning no fans are present – so players expect quiet when throwing at the board.
But there was noise from someone speaking somewhere, leading Anderson to offer a reprimand.
After his throw he appeared to say to someone: “We’re playing darts here.”
However as he issued his reprimand, he did so during Rydz’s throw, and felt he unfairly distracted his opponent.
So Anderson decided to bust out by hitting the bullseye when he needed double 20 to win the leg.
That gave Rdyz the chance to return to the oche and win the leg, which he did by hitting double ten.
Fans were in awe of the Scot’s gesture of sportsmanship – Anderson also remarkably responded by hitting 180 with his next throw.
One viewer reacted to the incident saying: “That guy is a class act.”

And another commented: “That was absolute class, both the gesture and the fact he just hit the bull so nonchalantly.”
