Cameron Menzies makes embarrassing blunder and busts with 180 score during World Matchplay debut

Cameron Menzies experienced a nightmarish start to his debut at the 2025 World Matchplay in dramatic fashion. The 36-year-old Scot caused consternation in the fourth leg of his match against Danny Noppert when, to everyone's surprise, he busted with a score of 180.

Trailing 3-0, Menzies had a prime opportunity to take his first leg of the match. With 178 points left, he knew he had to reduce the score to a finishable position - since 178 is impossible to finish with three darts.

After two excellent triple 20s - good for 120 points - Menzies had every opportunity to put up a sensible score with his third arrow. Instead, however, he went for the triple 20 again, hit it, writing a completely unnecessary 180 on the board - which immediately busted him. His turn was invalidated and Noppert immediately took advantage by winning the leg to himself.

The action caused disbelief among fans both in the venue and at home in front of the tube. On social media, the incident was immediately widely reported. One fan wrote, "No words,"

Another responded: "Menzies really brought the chaos." A third joked,"First and last time I bet on Menzies."

And someone else posted simply, "Absolute brain fart that from him."
