The first round is complete at Players Championship 17 with the Board Finals starting to get set up as top names including Peter Wright, Gerwyn Price and Rob Cross move through.

Wright eased past Rusty-Jake Rodriguez despite only averaging 90.28, so not in full low yet. While Price started to get towards that as he averaged 103 in taking down Tony Martinez 6-2.

Rob Cross averaged even more with 104.86 in a 6-0 win over Brian Raman. Ross Smith also moved through with a 6-0 win over Jimmy Hendriks.

But Dave Chisnall did not have the same fate as he was thrashed by Kevin Doets 6-1. 'Chizzy' is the top seed this weekend but received a bye due to late withdrawals, this though did not provide a good omen.

In the final result so far from the Last 64, Matt Campbell as 32nd seed has lost to MODUS standout, Alexander Merkx who averaged 97 in a 6-1 win.
