Colin Fowler (born 3 August 1962) is an English darts player who competes in Professional Darts Corporation events.

Career

Fowler reached the quarter-finals of a PDC event for the first time in his career at the opening UK Open Qualifier of 2013, where he lost 6–3 against Ronnie Baxter.[1] He made his debut in the UK Open later in the year and was beaten 5–4 by Matt Padgett in the second round.[2] In April 2014, Fowler won two Challenge Tour tournaments on the same day, winning a total of 14 consecutive matches and amassing £4,000 in prize money. He beat Mark Frost and Matt Clark in the two finals.[3] Fowler also won the 15th event with a 6–3 victory over Dirk van Duijvenbode and finished third on the Challenge Tour Order of Merit, just £300 short of second place which would have seen him earn a two-year PDC tour card.[4][5]

Fowler defeated Steve West 5–0 and Jason Wilson 5–3 at the 2015 UK Open, before losing 9–4 to David Pallett in the third round.[6][7] He took the second Challenge Tour event of the year by beating Steve Maish 5–2.[8]
