Kevin Painter vs. Robert Owen: A Record Changing Encounter?

Out of all the thrilling Exhibition matches to be held on 15 February 2022, one is between Kevin Painter and Robert Owen.

Kevin Painter- The Retired Dartist Back in the Game

The retired player Kevin Painter has a history of presenting interesting games, including the greatest match of all times against Phil Taylor in the 2004 PDC World Championship, and once again he is ready to bring out some excitement on 15 February in the game opposing Robert Owen. He has been a part of the PDC since 2001, and during this time, he has had an explicit performance. Kevin made it to the quarter-finals of the World Matchplay, Grand Slam, and World Grand Prix. In 2008, he came runner-up in the Championship League. Moreover, the player won the Players Championship Finals in 2011 over Mark Webster 13-9. Painter’s last victory was against Tony Martin 4-1 in the 2021 Online Live League, after which he, unfortunately, hasn’t had any luck in the game. However, his previous accomplishments might light up a flame of enthusiasm in him, once again giving him the sweet taste of success.

Robert Owen- Hoping for Another Win to Level the h2h Count

Robert Owen has been playing darts since 2008 and joined PDC IN 2014, and during all these years, he has put an excellent effort into his game. This effort will once again be seen and appreciated in the upcoming match. In the course of his career, he has had his share of ups and downs. In 2017, he was eliminated after reaching the quarterfinals of the Dutch Darts Master tournament when he lost against Michael Smith 6-5. Soon after, Owen participated in the Players Championship Finals for the first time but couldn’t defeat Rob Cross 6-2. His other major appearance was in the semifinals of the 2018 UK Open, where Corey Cadby gained success. Among the last 5 online tournaments Robert played in, he beat Scott Walters 4-3 and Matthew Campbell 4-3. Owen’s recent victories may work as a confidence booster for him, but expecting an easy game wouldn’t be wise.

In the past year, players have competed 5 times against each other in the Online Live League, and the results of these matches give Kevin Painter the top in the game. Kevin has won 3 games in comparison to Owen’s 2 successes.
