PDCMonday, 08 March 2021 at 15:31
James Wade has become the highest ranked English player in the PDC Order of Merit after victory at the UK Open this past weekend.
It was a third success in the event for 'The Machine' who is now up to 4th in the PDC of Merit. He now goes above Rob Cross who sits fifth with Dave Chisnall now jumping Gary Anderson as well into sixth place.
This puts him in pole position to captain England's World Cup team as well instead of Cross.
Daryl Gurney is back into the top ten at the detriment of Nathan Aspinall who has had his ranking money come off after his title win two years ago.
While there have been rises for Jonny Clayton (+1 to 17), Chris Dobey (+2 to 22) and Devon Petersen (+2 to 30).
Luke Humphries could have been heading towards the top 20 if he won the title but instead sits in 33rd which is up eight places.

- 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
