Jermaine Wattimena produced a statement display to begin the Dutch Darts Masters at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam seeing off Jonny Clayton in a 6-5 win.
Wattimena was up against it early on in the short format as Clayton doubled his lead with a 68 checkout on double four. A 116 checkout saw ‘Machine Gun’ fire back to make it 2-1.
He kicked off his throw with a maximum as he looked to make the sea of orange roar and he hit a 52 checkout to make it parity at 2-2. He missed 125 on double 12 to make it 3-2 and was punished as Clayton shut the door and regained the lead.
Wattimena hit back with a 95 checkout with Clayton sat waiting to break and make it 4-2 and it was parity again at 3-3. But Clayton took out 99 with 19 and two double 20’s to make it 4-3.
A 177 saw Clayton in the box seat but he missed a 63 checkout to break and Wattimena returned for double eight to make it 4-4. But again Clayton edged ahead with Wattimena having to force a decider. He did just that with a 122 checkout.
Wattimena was first to a finish and despite not hitting the 150, he hit a 138 to leave double six. Clayton could not get a dart at 116 and ‘Machine Gun’ sent him packing.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals.
