thesun.co.uk

Cameron Menzies had a shocking moment during a darts match, which he later called the "miscount of the century." The 35-year-old Scottish player was competing against Mike De Decker in the quarter-finals of the European Darts Trophy. Menzies needed to hit double nine to win but missed several darts. He was visibly distressed, putting his head in his hands. Things took a strange turn when De Decker also missed his chance to win the game, giving Menzies another opportunity. After a missed double nine attempt, Menzies aimed at double four instead of double six, making a big error. Even the TV cameras initially missed this mistake. He collapsed in disbelief after realizing what he had done, while commentators expressed their shock. Surprisingly, De Decker failed to take advantage of the situation, missing his chances. This allowed Menzies to have another shot at victory. He ultimately hit double two, winning the match. He later expressed relief and admitted to making a serious mistake, saying he had a "massive brain fart" and felt lucky to win.
