Damon Heta moved up to fifth place on the
Players Championship Order of Merit after winning Players Championship 13. Winning the tournament earned 'The Heat' £15,000, bringing his total to £40,000.
Leading the rankings is Gerwyn Price, who surprisingly lost in the second round on Monday. Price earned 54,500 pounds during the first thirteen Players Championship tournaments of the season. Cameron Menzies is second with 46,500 pounds, while Gian van Veen (45,500 pounds) and Josh Rock (42,500 pounds) are the other two players in the top five.
Nathan Aspinall who has characteristically always struggled to qualify for MInehead due to poor ProTour form is sat 36th after the latest day of action. He is just behind Stephen Bunting in 36th.
Aspinall added to £15,500 on his ranking by losing out to Heta in the final. Luke Littler by comparison albeit he has barely played this season sits in 27th. Luke Humphries is further up in 25th, while Peter Wright is 22nd.
Back up and Gary Anderson, Ryan Searle, Martin Schindler and Joe Cullen complete the top 10. Only Price, Dobey and Cross from the Premier League line-up inhabit the top 15. Michael van Gerwen for instance is down in 110th and has a serious amount of work to do. He lost early again on Monday.
