Darts is way more difficult than pros like John Henderson make it look.

Henderson breezed into the second round of the PDC World Darts Championship with an emphatic 3-0 victory over Finland's Marko Kantele on Tuesday evening. What started out as a competitive contest turned out to be one-way traffic as Henderson slowly pulled away from the Finn after a tight first set. Henderson took the second three-zip with a lovely 121 checkout and dropped just one leg in the third and decisive set. The stand-out highlight for the Scot was his 160 checkout in the opening set. With Kantele on 83, Henderson took the set with a picture perfect triple 20, tripe 20 followed by a double top to cap it all off. https://twitter.com/OfficialPDC/status/943212173743898624 That sensational performance earned Henderson a second-round clash against fourth seed Daryl Gurney.
