Clayton knocked out by Kist as Anderson whitewashes De Zwaan and Van Gerwen posts another ton-plus average at Players Championship 22

Jonny Clayton has become the biggest name to fall so far at Players Championship 22, losing out in the second round to former Lakeside champion Christian Kist.

Whilst Clayton departs, the likes of Michael van Gerwen, who threw another 100+ average against Ryan Meikle in a 6-3 win and Gary Anderson, who emphatically dealt with Jeffrey De Zwaan 6-0 have eased through to the next round.
