Van den Bergh reaches maiden European Tour quarter-final, set to face Clayton after all-Welsh clash with Williams

Dimitri van den Bergh has broken new ground in terms of the European Tour with ‘The Dreammaker’ reaching his maiden Quarter-Final after a dominant 6-1 win over his compatriot, Brian Raman at the International Darts Open.
Van den Bergh produced a 99 average, a sole 180 but 40% on the doubles including a high checkout of 119 to win through and claim a spot in the final session for the first time.
The aforementioned highest checkout was pinned in the opening leg with Van den Bergh sending a message early on after Raman missed a 145 to hold. His opponent got a leg on the board at 2-1 down but this proved to be solitary.
A 15-darter on double 16 saw Van den Bergh hold and he pinned the same target for a 4-1 lead after Raman couldn’t pin 81 before sealing the win in style with an 82 checkout using bull-double 16.
He will now face Jonny Clayton who edged through the all-Welsh encounter with rising talent Lewy Williams sealing it 6-4 with a 96 average, a high checkout of 134 and 46.2% on the doubles.
‘The Ferret’ went 3-1 up in the early going with that 134 checkout as he stole a march but Williams returned to the foray and took the lead at 4-3.
But Williams missed the chance for four legs on the spin and could have been one away but Clayton levelled up instead at 4-4 with ‘The Prince of Wales’ still throwing for a 5-4 lead instead of the win.
But he was left frustrated by a lack of scoring power and Clayton popped up with a 129 set up to leave 32 which he pinned to go one away where he had the throw which he sealed to move into the Quarter-Finals.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
