"What impressed me is that he won the two big games and that's no disrespect to Ted Evetts but no complacency last night. He gets the Evetts game done with a minimum of fuss and tops the group," said Webster on Sky Sports.

"A big few days for Raymond van Barneveld and the favourable draw next round in Simon Whitlock. It's very winnable and the same for Simon, it's a game they will both fancy. But top of the group, he's got a chance of the Quarter-Finals.

"The only thing is that there is a possibility of playing Gerwyn Price there but he will just be enjoying himself and starting to believe in himself again because the comeback hasn't gone as it liked. But it has been a pivotal few days."
