Former UK Open champion Danny Noppert is among the players to reach the quarterfinals of Players Championship 19. Fellow former major winners Mensur Suljovic, Chris Dobey and Daryl Gurney are also still in the mix.
Noppert himself was responsible for the elimination of Martijn Dragt. Via an 11-darter and a 12-darter, 'The Freeze' took a 4-1 lead against his compatriot. Dragt then won three of the next four legs, but was unable to make up the second break deficit. With a 17-darter, Noppert put a 6-4 final score on the scoreboard.
