Both players were poor on doubles to begin the tie with Edhouse breathing a sigh of relief as he took the opening set despite miss 17 darts at doubles.
Hudson began set two with his first hold of throw but Edhouse himself levelled it up, this pattern continued with a decider in set two.
'The Rock' hit his fourth maximum of the match and had his first darts at a set only to return with Edhouse only pressuring.
Hudson busted his chance to break and Edhouse took the lead in set three. It continued with the holds until Edhouse couldn't pin the Madhouse and Hudson took a 2-1 lead and was throwing for the set.
He took it and let out a roar as he went one set away from a tie with Gerwyn Price.
An early break from Edhouse was nearly cancelled out as he continued to miss doubles but a clutch double five saw him go one away from a deciding set.
A 91 checkout saw Edhouse go one away from the victory with a break before claiming it on double 16 to set up a tie with Price.

- I might actually enter this next year,for Β£5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
