TERRY Jenkins collected his hat-trick of world champion scalps in the Whyte and MacKay Premier League Darts last night as he saw off reigning king John Part.
Having beaten the 2006 world champion Phil Taylor 8-5, followed by the 8-5 beating of the 2007 title holder Raymond van Barneveld last week, the Lebury Bull claimed the scalp of the Canadian with an 8-2 thrashing.
The beating of the Darth Maple at the BICC in Bournemouth moved Jenkins up to third in the table on night where The Power put his demons behind him to destroy Wayne Mardle 8-0.
The Bull took an early 4-0 lead, twice breaking Part's throw and including a key 91 finish on the bullseye.
Part got off the mark with a fine 127 checkout, finishing on double eight, but a second 12-darter of the match put Jenkins 5-1 up at the break.
The Ledbury thrower's heavy scoring helped him take the next two legs to go 7-1 up, with Part battling to stay in the contest with an 86 checkout.
But his fight-back was short-lived as Jenkins wrapped up the victory on double top.
"I'm very pleased with that," Jenkins said. "I could see John was struggling and I knew if I kept steady I'd be okay.
"My confidence is growing every week and I'm delighted. There's a lot of pressure but I'm dealing with it well at the moment.
"It's still early days, there's only five games gone, but I'll hope to capitalise on this now."
