CAMERON MENZIES says that girlfriend Fallon Sherrock has “bigger balls” than him and he owes all his success to her!
The wacky Scottish star has been at the top of the PDC form guides for most of 2024 after several high-class displays.
Menzies, 35, continued his outstanding performances with a 6-3 win over Jonny Clayton in the Swiss Darts Trophy on Friday.
He revealed: “She helps me tremendously in my career. When we were dating in the beginning, I was in Scotland a lot and she was in England.
“But we often played against each other by video calling during practice sessions. And we still do practice together a lot.
“Honestly: without her I wouldn’t be where I am today. She also keeps pressing me to train because we both get lazy if we don’t practice.

“Who is the better of the two of us? I think I’m a tad better, but she’s better on stage when you're in the spotlight. She just handles that better.
“Yes … she has bigger balls than me. I’m getting better at it, but when it comes down to the marbles in an important match Fallon performs better. Hopefully one day I can keep up with her level in that area.”
Rangers-daft Menzies continues to work as a plumber but he still hopes to quit in the future to turn professional full-time.
He added: “I actually always wanted to become a darts player. Or no, I’m lying. I dreamed of a career as a professional football player, but if you look at my physique then you see that that dream could quickly go into the bin.

“So my plan B worked out well, though, even though I’m still working full-time at the moment.”
Menzies also confesses that he finally believed he was good leading up to the last World Championship.
He said: “I was throwing my darts at home like I had never thrown them before.
“Okay, practice sessions are not the same as a match but still, it was unbelievably good, I didn’t know I could do that.
“It sometimes shocked myself because I was really throwing 110 average regularly in a very short period of time.
“At one point I said to myself, ‘Jesus man, you’re actually pretty good at this sport!’
"And that has continued over the past few months, even though I haven’t immediately changed anything about how I train or throw or think.
“It’s just: what I do at home, I now also do more often on the floor and even sometimes on a stage. That is, for me, a small miracle.”
