With the latest Super Series in the books, the race to the World Matchplay heads into its final stanza in a few weeks time with multiple players helping their chances of making the Winter Gardens.
Among them is Luke Humphries who reached yet another final and in seventh and with £30,750, it seems likely he has done enough already for a debut at the World Matchplay.
Similarly Callan Rydz and Ryan Searle in 13th and 14th did themselves a huge favour with multiple good runs over the week including to a final for ‘Heavy Metal’. One more push may be needed but at the moment, they also look good for a debut.
Stephen Bunting also sits on the cusp in 17th but is on the verge of overtaking Madars Razma who will need to have a good Super Series himself to make his debut.
Speaking of 17th, Ian White is no longer part of the seedings either with Jonny Clayton as expected passing him to claim that spot. But thankfully for ‘Diamond’, he still holds a ProTour spot.
