Daryl Gurney saw off Ricky Evans in a 10-7 win where he wasn’t at his best but hit nine 180’s en route.
Gurney spoke afterwards and admitted despite not being at his best that he was always confident of claiming the win.
He also added that he has a couple of gears still to go through, something he will be confident of reaching next round against Keegan Brown.
"If I had gone off the boil and he was getting six darts at double per leg then I would've been panicking, but as it was I always felt quite calm and confident of winning," said Gurney.
"I'm happy with the win. You've got to be in it to win it, and I'm still in it. I've got another couple of gears to go through and I'll need to unlock those if I'm going to win the tournament.
"I know I'm in for a tough game against Keegan, I saw him on the practice board earlier and he was hitting everything, but hopefully I can come out on top and progress to the quarter-final."

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
UndartedWaters19-11-2024 - Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.UndartedWaters18-11-2024
- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
