Trivia

In his first-round win over Hamilton at the PDC World Championship in 2016, Murnan caused a sensation by thinking that with the score of 5: 4 legs in the fifth set he had already won the game. He needed another leg, however, because the rule in the fifth set is that you need at least two legs to win.
