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.

- 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. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
