Laurence "Loz" Ryder (born 28 December 1966) is an English-born Australian darts player.
Darts career
Ryder was born in Britain but in 2001 moved from Derby to Western Australia.[1] In 2013 he won the Dosh Perth Open by beating Conan Ugle 6–3 in the final.[2] Ryder played the full circuit of Australian Grand Prix events for the first time in 2014 and won five events as well as being the runner-up in five others to top the rankings.[3] As a result, he qualified for the Perth Darts Masters and Sydney Darts Masters, losing in the opening rounds to Raymond van Barneveld and Peter Wright respectively.[4][5]
His top ranking also ensured him a debut at the PDC World Darts Championship in 2015.[6] He won six successive legs from 2–1 down in sets against world number 17 Justin Pipe to beat him 3–2.[7] However, in the following round against Terry Jenkins he lost all 12 legs played in a 4–0 defeat.[8]
