SULJOVIC BUZZING AFTER WIN

MENSUR SULJOVIC stung Kevin ‘The Artist’ Painter as his 3-0 win was interrupted by a wasp landing on his shirt.

It wouldn’t be Christmas at Alexandra Palace without a wasp halting play at the darts, and world No.5 Suljovic calmly flicked the insect off.

The Austrian (right) disposed of Painter just as easily to book a second round date with Robert Thornton. It is the third time in six years that a wasp has made an unscheduled appearance at the PDC world championship.

Six years ago Adrian Lewis was stung during his firstround win over Nigel Heydon.
