Webster started off and despite the closeness in the averages eased past Ricky Evans. It was a 92 average for the Demolition Man as he continues his good form.
Wilson on the over hand didn’t have it as easy coming though a last leg decider with Jonny Clayton. Also en route ‘Lethal Biscuit’ came close to hitting a nine darter, the second time a player has gone within one of hitting it.
Thornton showed resurgence as he dumped out the in form James Wade in a 6-3 victory. ‘The Thorn’ who hasn’t had the best results in the past two years showed there is still the quality which saw him claim multiple majors.
