Raymond van Barneveld R1 WMP18 2

Raymond van Barneveld is through to the semi-finals and will face Simon Whitlock in his return to the World Series after being left out of the original lineup for this year.

Three 180s, an 89.5 average and 62.5% on the doubles including a 180 from Van Barneveld to set up a 64 finish in the final leg gave him the win.
’Barney’ in defeating McGrath saw off the final qualifier in the tournament and vindicated his selection as a PDC representative for this tournament.
Now he knows that he has a serious chance to potentially win the tournament with Whitlock awaiting him tomorrow.
