Van Barneveld impressive in seeing off in form Clemens, De Zwaan and Van den Bergh also through

Van Barneveld silenced his critics with a 6-3 win over the in form German as he averaged just under a ton. This will potentially be just the confidence boost Barney needs as he aims to qualify for the big major tournaments. There were also wins for Dutch compatriot Jeffrey de Zwaan who averaged 103 as he continues from his exploits on the Development Tour last weekend. He faced Kyle Anderson in potentially one of the tougher assignments of the first round but ‘The Black Cobra’ came through. Dimitri Van den Bergh would have been expecting to come through his tie with Thomas Kohnlein with ease but made it difficult for himself. They both averaged around the 80 mark with Van den Bergh under par. He will know now that he has to face one of the seeds that he has to get better tomorrow.
