The first three ties of the opening round at the Dutch Darts Masters in Zwolle are complete with William O'Connor, Mickey Mansell and Brendan Dolan all through to the second day of action.
O'Connor started proceedings off with the in-form recent first time ranking event winner easing past Ryan Joyce who was returning to the European Tour in a 6-2 win. He averaged 93 meaning he wasn't close to his best but it was enough with 'Relentless' back at 87.

Mansell on the other hand edged out Kyle Anderson with the 'Clonoe Cyclone' averaging 91 in a 6-4 victory over the Australian. It was a high checkout of 120 along the way with 6/9 on his doubles being the difference.
Finally Dolan similarly came through with ease against Wesley Plaisier, the first of the Host Nation Qualifiers. It was a 6-1 win for 'The History Maker' with a 92 average with 6/15 on the doubles.
Plaisier on the other hand only had two shots at double throughout the whole contest and hit 1/2 on his way to a heavy defeat.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
