‘Fat boy did a thing’ says Cameron Menzies as Fallon Sherrock’s plumber partner lands biggest career payday in shock win
CAMERON MENZIES blasted “fat boy did a thing” after landing his first PDC ranking title.
The Muirkirk ace beat Stephen Bunting 8-4 to take the Players Championship 29 event in Leicester last night.
The star, who is a plumber by trade, banked £15,000 as he celebrated the best win of his darting life.
And the hefty payday and long-awaited win meant that the 35-year-old certainly let loose – taking to social media to celebrate.
The flamboyant thrower, who is dating fellow darts star Fallon Sherrock, went straight onto X to say: “Fat boy did a thing.”
Menzies delivered a stunning day of form to finally end his trophy drought.
He smashed Danny Noppert 7-1 in the semis after getting past James Wade 6-2, Krzysztof Ratajski 6-5, Rob Cross 6-3, Jacques Labre 6-1 and Jose De Sousa 6-3.
Menzies was delighted with his victory, adding: “I’ve won a ProTour, and nobody can ever take that away from me.
“I wanted to win this title so much; I’m absolutely buzzing. This means so much to me.
“At one stage I never thought I was good enough to win a ProTour, but I believe right now I’m playing the best darts of my life.

“I’m playing against the best players in the world here, and I feel when I’m on my game, I can match them, and I never thought I’d be able to do that.
“Hopefully this is a stepping stone to winning a major, like Ritchie (Edhouse) and Mike De Decker have done recently.”
The behind-closed-doors tournament had a few big names missing as Luke Littler, Luke Humphries, Michael van Gerwen and Gerwyn Price all pulled out of the back-to-back floor events this week.
Thursday is the 30th and final ProTour event of the year, a series which began back in February.
