After James Wade's previous "fartgate incidents," something was once again in the air during the match between Rob Cross and Josh Rock last week during Players Championship 20.
Wade made the news twice in recent months after he farted loudly at the oche during matches against Callan Rydz and Peter Wright, respectively. Last week it was another hit, however this time it was not 'The Machine' who let his bowels loose, but Northern Irishman Josh Rock.
In the quarterfinals at Players Championship 20, 'Rocky' took on Rob Cross. During the second leg, it was Cross' turn to throw, but while at the oche, he spontaneously stopped and looked around with a dirty face. 'Voltage' then turned around and asked, "Did you do what I thought you did?" Rock grinned and replied nodding, "Yes..."
Cross was fortunately able to see the humor and walked smiling to his table to quietly take a sip of water. In the end, the fart had no effect on the game of the former world champion, as he won the match 6-5, throwing a whirlwind average of no less than 109.81.
