Clayton hit his first 180 followed by a 140 checkout to trail 3-2 and the theme of the early going continued with Wright recementing his cushion followed by Clayton levelling up with a 140 checkout to make it 4-4.

It wasn't done though with Clayton taking out 167 to stop the rot at 7-5 as he looked to head towards a decider.
A decider it went as Wright missed droves of match darts and Clayton sent it all the way breaking throw to make it 7-7.
