Taylor Thrives On Darts

PHIL TAYLOR claims he's a darting psychopath!

The Power destroyed Gary Anderson 16-4 to win the £100,000 Grand Slam in Wolverhampton.
It was his fifth successive major title after claiming glory in the World Matchplay, European Championship, World Grand Prix and Championship League Darts.
Taylor admits he thrives on overcoming new rivals mentally.
He said: "I'm a psychopath throwing sharp objects. That means I'm lethal!
"I just adore fresh challenges to my titles.
"I've had so many new rivals over the years and I have gradually worn them down.
"Dennis Priestley and Raymond van Barneveld have taken world titles off me, but I've ended up taking more off them.
"They are world class players and we've had some fantastic battles.
"We've got new guys like Gary Anderson, Adrian Lewis and Paul Nicholson playing incredible darts now.
"That's what gets me out of bed in the morning. I love the threat, the contest and of course, the winning."
Taylor crushed both Lewis and Anderson in the Slam semi and final in one day but he admits he has to forget about those results with the World Championship looming.
Taylor added: "My dad drilled into me from an early age that I'm only as good as my next match.
"It was great to win the Slam. The trophy is on the mantlepiece and money in the bank, but it's finished now. The world championship is the next big one and when I get to Ally Pally I know Adrian and Gary will be gunning for me.
"That just brings out the psycho in me.
"I can't wait to beat them again."
