Jonny Clayton comes into the
Grand Slam of Darts under pressure to succeed as one of the leading lights after a fourth major singles title this year alone.
Clayton saw off Rusty-Jake Rodriguez in his opener and is aiming to add a ranking triumph to help in his push up the Order of Merit which has been prohibited by non ranking wins.
"I broke him early and that's what changed the game," said Clayton.
"I am just a darts player who is trying to do my job but things are going well, I'm feeling good and hoping to get another ranking title under my belt."
