Darts star Derek Coulson has made an incredible return to the Modus Super Series, achieving a perfect start in Group A of Week Seven. Winning all five of his matches on Day One, Coulson secured a maximum 10 points, firmly establishing himself as the early frontrunner in the quest for a place in Saturday’s finale.
Coulson’s Unblemished Performance Dominates Day One
The Modus Super Series, a premier darts competition, saw a sensational start to Week Seven of Series 14 on Monday. Veteran player Derek Coulson, making his first appearance since April, delivered a truly remarkable performance in Group A. He achieved a clean sweep, winning all five of his scheduled matches, showcasing exceptional form and precision.
Coulson’s path to perfection included decisive victories against a strong field of competitors: Radek Szaganski, Keanu Van Velzen, Ricardo Ham, Jenson Walker, and Colin McCaughern. This flawless run earned him the maximum possible 10 points from 10, placing him at the top of the leaderboard and setting a formidable pace for the rest of the week.
The Standings After Day One: A Tight Race for Qualification
While Coulson soared ahead, the battle for the remaining qualification spots remains fiercely contested. Three players ended Day One tied on points, highlighting the competitive nature of the series:

- 3rd Place: Ricardo Ham – 6 points
- 4th Place: Radek Szaganski – 6 points
- 5th Place: Colin McCaughern – 2 points
