Rock continues to shine with 107 average in Smith win, Humphries, Clayton and Heta also into Last 16 at Players Championship 28

The board finals are ongoing at Players Championship 28 with Luke Humphries, Jonny Clayton and Damon Heta continuing their progression through.

Being in the top 16 means that many of these players play first so are ahead of the rest of those involved and for Humphries, he sealed a 6-4 win over Niels Zonneveld. Second seed Damon Heta eased past Vincent van der Voort 6-2, with Jonny Clayton easing past Kim Huybrechts 6-2.

Josh Rock though stood out with a 6-1 win over Jeff Smith averaging 107.11 in the process in a superb victory for the Northern Irishman with two 11-darters in a row to seal it.
