Jeff Smith: Canada should be proud!
Hi Guys
In November 2015, my World Watch focused on Jeff Smith as one to watch:

Well at the BDO World Championships Jeff Smith proved this to be true as he reached the final and had a 90 ave for the tournament Including putting out 3 x WC winner Martin Adams who was considered a tournament favourite in the first round).
Bettering his 2015 semi final finish Smith became a fan favourite with his terrific displays and despite losing out will have learned from this immensely.
Smith was unlucky to meet a resurrected Scott Waites in the final (he himself a former world champ and 4 times major winner), where nerves also conspired against him!
Gracious in defeat, his post match interview will have done his fan-base no harm at all and Smith has done himself and Canadian darts proud.
I wish Smith the best of luck for 2016 as he will be a threat for whatever BDO events he competes in!
