The first round is complete at the European Darts Grand Prix with Josh Payne and Gabriel Clemens moving into Saturday's action in Sindelfingen.
For Payne, it was a first win on the European Tour in four years as he saw off one of the main attractions of Friday night in Simon Whitlock.
'The Maximum' averaged 84 in the end but was more impressive on the doubling hitting 60% in all with a high checkout of 100 as he prevailed 6-3.
Gabriel Clemens prevailed 6-4 but it could've and should've been a lot simpler for 'The German Giant' in front of his home crowd.
Clemens was facing Lee Evans and had a dart to win it 6-0 and seal a whitewash to delight the home crowd but had to wait a little bit longer to move through.
On hitting double five to make it 5-1, Evans broke throw and held to make it 5-3 albeit after more missed match darts before finally Clemens prevailed. He hit a 46 checkout first time to seal it with Evans waiting to send it all the way.

- 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

- 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.
