Gary Anderson beats Chris Dobey in fifth round of the UK Open, Luke Woodhouse dumps out Michael Smith

Gary Anderson beat Chris Dobey in the fifth round of the UK Open. The 2018 champion downed 'Hollywood' 10-5 in a low standard game between the pair by their standards. Dobey missed 15 darts at double altogether, missing an opportunity to take a huge scalp.
Anderson has been one of the hottest players on the ProTour in 2024, winning Players Championship 2 and hitting double digits for ton plus averages for the year already.
The biggest shock of the day so far came when Luke Woodhouse defeated Michael Smith in a last-leg decider. 'Woody' did well to come from 4-1 down, then battle his way to a final leg where he checked out 81 with Smith waiting on 120.
Woodhouse's form is trending in the right direction, with a quarter final appearance in his last Minehead appearance at the Players Championship Finals.

Rob Cross turned on the style in taking care of Josh Rock. 'Voltage' won 10-4 against the rising star, averaging 105 and having a 52% success rate on doubles. Cross achieved similar stats in the Premier League in Exeter a few days ago, where he reached his first final of the 2024 edition.
Elsewhere, Martin Lukeman scraped through Danny Noppert in a final leg tussle in a high-quality affair. Noppert has now dropped out of the top 10 in the world after failing to defend a chunk of his prize money from winning the competition two years ago.

- 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

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
