The Last 16 line-up is confirmed at the 2022 UK Open with Gerwyn Price through but he made it unnecessarily difficult against Jamie Hughes.

Price had several chances to get away throughout the game, but his doubles let him down throughout before taking a 140 checkout when it mattered in the decider.

He took a 3-0 lead, but went in at 3-2 after failing to take out 54. It was a similar session as he went into the break 6-4 up.

This was followed by no fewer than six breaks in a row, including after eight misses on Price's doubles in legs started by Hughes. 'Yozza' then took two in a row to force a deciding leg before Price showed his class with the blockbuster checkout.

While Stephen Bunting got four match darts against William O'Connor but spurned them and the Irishman escaped into the latter stages.
