Simon Whitlock has continued his role as spoiler by dumping out Peter Wright to reach the Quarter-Finals of the 2022 Masters where he will play Jose de Sousa tomorrow.
The newly crowned World Champion was using new darts which did not prove to be a fruitful move as Whitlock edged through in a 10-8 victory.
Wright using his Phil Taylor esque darts started well with a 92 checkout to hold and go 2-1 up with a 106.7 average. A 68 checkout saw an immediate reply for Whitlock at 2-2.
Whitlock messed up on a 71 checkout to break and Wright hit double eight to lead 3-2 at the break. ‘The Wizard’ held on return on double four to make it 3-3.
Wright missed the chance to hold but Whitlock missed his opportunity to break and ‘Snakebite’ pinned double two to go up 4-3. A 63 checkout on double 19 saw Whitlock level up again at 4-4.
Wright went into double one off a 66 checkout and handed Whitlock a break opportunity which he couldn’t grasp again. ‘Snakebite’ returned for double 19 but couldn’t pin that either and Whitlock finally broke on double 14 to make it 5-4.
Whitlock consolidated on double 16 to go 6-4 up. Wright held to go 6-5 down but Whitlock held throw with a 100 checkout to go 7-5 up.
A 171 to leave 94 and he pinned double 20 for another break to go 8-5 up. He smashed his barrel going for 80 to consolidate but Wright couldn’t pounce and Whitlock hit double 20 to go one away.
Wright breathed a sigh of relief after pinning an 80 checkout to hold. Wright applied pressure though breaking on double 16 to make it 9-7.
Whitlock busted 76 though in going for the match and Wright held throw on double eight. He hit a 180 but Whitlock pinned 65 on double six to move through.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
