$5,000 Fire on the Mountain - Asheville, NC

4/30/2017

The Fire on the Mountain tournament in Asheville, NC is a regular stop on Sandy's spring dart tour and close enough to commute to and from the event. She has had a good bit of success there and that trend continued as she was able to compete on back to back weekends for the first time in quite a while. She was also able to compete with dear friends in the doubles events from her local league, the SCUDL.
She played in the Mixed Doubles events with John Liggett and they were able to capture the Cricket Title on Saturday and on Sunday they paired up for a 2nd Place finish in 501, it would turn out to be the only loss for Sandy on the weekend. Candra Archbold was her Ladies partner for the weekend, the fellow Kryptonite Girl also plays with Sandy on their local league team, The Usual Suspects. They were able to sweep both 501 and Cricket events. Sandy would also win 501 Singles over Candra and Cricket Singles over Lisa Ayers raising her season total to six titles.
Sandy's sponsors are the best in the business and produce the wonderful products that she uses to compete at her highest level. Her family of fine sponsors include Winmau, L-Style Global, Flying Bull Darts and Dutchman Darts. Sandy will be back at it again next weekend at the Cleveland Extravaganza and the ADO National Playoff for the Winmau World Masters to be held in September in Bridlington, England.

$15,000 Charlotte Open - Charlotte, NC

4/26/2017

Sandy's long spring break ended when she returned to play at the Charlotte Open, a regular stop on her dart tour. She had to cancel her trip to the Virginia Beach Classic last month which created the break, which is unusual for the spring, a busy season for darts in America. But with the break over she was ready to knock some rust off and spent a weekend among family and friends doing what she loves.
She kicked off the tournament by winning 501 Mixed Doubles with a familiar partner, Robbie Phillips, where they topped Ellen Lee and Fred Copeland in the Finals. They competed again on Sunday in the Cricket Mixed Doubles and ended up with a Top 4 finish. In Ladies Doubles she paired up with fellow Kryptonite Girl Paula Murphy and they would go on to sweep the 501 and Cricket events, overcoming some stiff competition along the way. She also reached the Finals of Adult/Youth 501 with her regular partner Gage Alvarado. Playing Adult/Youth always makes for a long day but it means so much to the youth players when they can compete with some of America's top players. The QCDA has managed a solid youth program for many years which has helped so many players get their start in the sport of darts.
Sandy always says she needs to be in tournament shape to compete at a high level and clearly the rust showed at times, especially in Singles. In the BDO/WDF ranked 501 Singles she worked through the long event throwing well at times and missing far too many doubles at other times. She advanced to the Semi-Finals against Paula but couldn't finish losing 4-2. In Cricket she reached the Finals and again fell short against Paula, America's top ranked player.
Sandy thanks her fantastic sponsors who support her every step of the way. Winmau, L-style Global, Flying Bull, and Dutchman Darts make up her amazing sponsors. Sandy's season gets kicked into high gear with four events scheduled in the next five weeks.
