Schedule Tuesday night at World Matchplay including Anderson, Price and Smith

We will begin the second round of the World Matchplay on Tuesday night. The first eight players will compete tonight for a spot in the quarterfinals of the prestigious tournament in Blackpool.

Nathan Aspinall spoke about his love of the crowd in his 'home major' and will now face Danny Noppert in the last sixteen.

'The Asp' is no stranger to Noppert, as the two have already met four times this year. The first two encounters went to the Dutchman, while Aspinall won the last two confrontations. In the overall head-to-head, Aspinall leads 9-6.
