John Part wins Shanghai International Darts Open 2009

The three-time World Champion, John "Darth Maple" Part, once again showed the world what he is made of as he emerged as the men's Champion in the recently concluded Shanghai Open. He was responsible for the lone loss, in the round robin phase, of NDFP's # 1 Celso "Boie" Parfan. Part landed # 10 in the last 64 while the top two posts were occupied by our Filipino darters. John Part faced Christian "Ian" Perez (NDFP's #2) in the Championship dispatching the latter at a score of 10-4. Perez dispatched Lourence "The Gunner" Ilagan securing a shot at the Championship against John Part. As for Ian Perez, facing the 3-time World Champion is a BIG achievement in itself. Finishing second to Part is a feat that we can be so proud of! The same goes to the rest of the Darterong Pinoys who competed in the said event, you guys truly made us proud. For sure, by now, darters and sponsors alike noticed your talents... David "The Scorpion" Fatum, in his blog, mentioned that the Philippines will be the "next power house in darts to come".
Congratulations, Ian Perez and the rest of the Philippine contigent ( Boie Parfan, Lourence Ilagan, Robert Reyes, Arvy Briones, Mon Sabalborro)!!!
