It was a great showing for Team Philippines in the recently concluded Shanghai International Darts Open. Four out of the top eight are Darterong Pinoys! While the 3-time World Champ earned the highest slot, Ian perez held the runner-up position while Lourence Ilagan settled in the top 3 post. Boie Parfan and Robert Calupit shared the fifth post with Chris White and Warren Parry. We may have failed to get the championship crown but it was such a formidable display of darts for our squad. There were actually six Filipinos who joined the event, the other two being Arvy Briones (who was in the last 16 but eventually bowed to Ian perez) and Mon Sabalboro. These pinoy darters are just some of our top guns. There are still those who missed to join because of lack of funds and sponsorship. Better watch out in the coming Pacmania Darts!!! I would love to see the likes of Boy Gionzon, Dixie Ybanez, Orlan Bernardino,Jun Espiniola, and Ricky Santiago show their solid forms in this upcoming event.
Oh, by the way, Analiza "An An" Awitan also placed third in the women's division. Stacey Bromberg and Mayumi Ouchi were the Champion and runner-up respectively.
