He completely outplayed Austrian qualifier Christian Goedl 6-0 and recorded an average of 100.20. Among other things, Taylor threw three 14-darters and a 14-darter on his way to victory. He will face Krzysztof Ratajski in the second round.
Edhouse secured a spot in the second round of the Austrian Darts Open with a 6-4 victory over Arron Monk. 'The Madhouse' fell behind 3-1, but managed to win the next three legs via two 15-darters and a 14-darter. After Monk made it 4-4, Edhouse decided the game with a 62 finish and a 14-darter. Edhouse will face Dirk van Duijvenbode in the second round on Saturday afternoon.
