Before I give the sport I will say it's male and he was a recent runner up in a world championship.

And the house has nothing to do with cards.

Not darts - not snooker.

I thought of giving a further clue for the forename - but that might add to further confusion.

I had a hunch on bowls from the extra clue and I think it's come up trumps....

House of Stuart, sounds like Stewart

The Brazilian Anderson plays for Man Utd

Gotta be!!
