Dave Chisnall has claimed victory in Group Three of the PDC Home Tour after seeing off Jonathan Worsley in a 5-1 victory to finish proceedings.
Chisnall claimed six points from six but it still went down to the final game despite victories for the St Helens ace against
Scott Waites (5-2),
Jan Dekker (5-0) and finally the aforementioned Welshman.
But a late flourish from
Scott Waites who claimed a double win against Worsley and
Jan Dekker both by scorelines of 5-1 saw Chisnall needing to win his final game and after losing the first leg, he breezed through despite it not being pretty average wise.
He only averaged 75 but had the important statistic of 44 percent on the doubles which saw him win 5-1. As a result though, he becomes the first player who was favourite to begin the night who has come through into the next round.
Tomorrow sees the first outright female Tour Card Winner and multiple Lakeside World Champion,
Lisa Ashton headline with
Ross Smith,
Mickey Mansell and
Geert Nentjes also involved as they aim to join Chisnall, Jamie Lewis and Luke Woodhouse in the next round.
