Think its important to mention that he won the second to last major for his first ever.

What a ridiculous final.
I’m still bewildered by the 9-darter.
Wow, Smith will go on to win more World Championships now, I’m sure of it.

Yeah 9 darts is the minimum. In essence, Smith threw 9 perfect darts in a row, and MVG threw 8.
That I know of, 2 players being on 9 darters and only 1 dart missing has never happened before until tonight.
It was really early on in the game, so no way to know for sure how definitive it was - but he broke MVG’s throw (he won the leg in which he threw second so he was at a disadvantage) and he needed to do so to win the set.
