Wright reels off five consecutive legs to deny White, Anderson punishes missed doubles from Stevenson
PDC
There is only one match left of the fifth round at the 2020 UK Open with Peter Wright and Gary Anderson both successfully through to the Last 16 in Minehead.
Wright came through once again in an absolute battle against Ian White with the 2017 champion who will be looking for his third TV title in a row reeling off five consecutive legs and averaging 101.5 to claim a 10-6 win over 'Diamond' who's wait for a breakthrough run continues.
Anderson on the other hand was behind against Simon Stevenson in a closely fought tie but when it went to 5-4, 'The Flying Scotsman' pounced on crucial missed doubles from 'The Mirror Man' to win through in a 10-5 victory.
Gabriel Clemens is also through continuing his under the radar run on the outer boards by seeing off Andy Boulton who has impressed this weekend 10-6 with a 99.5 average. Can 'The German Giant' complete a landmark run this weekend?
Dimitri van den Bergh has similarly gone under the radar seeing off Matthew Edgar 10-4 - with the Daventry ace not able to reproduce the form that got him to this position meaning a poor end to a brilliant tournament for the star of 'Edgar TV'.

- Gutted to hear about Wynand, he was one of those one off championship characters that you always remember. He beat Manley at his own game. Maish was the VAT fiddler. I think it was Webster, Wynand should have beaten in that 3rd round. Thank you Wynand for those brief but everlasting memories.richieburnettrocks11-01-2025
- This coming from the lowest ranked player in it who was only selected by his paranoia for attention from the crowd by having to conduct the crowd to his walk on music. I know a lot of darts fans who cannot stand Arsepinall, oddly I know people who don't like darts but frequently attend events for the atmosphere and have no idea who was playing. So for all the whining players not selected, change your walk on music and pathetically beg for affection from the crowd....please cheer for me ohhh please cheer.richieburnettrocks11-01-2025
- A floor layer called Bissell …. Be looking to hoover up the titles.Mysstree10-01-2025
- "For the past 20 years, the Grand Prix winner was there every time" Because all former winners were Top 8 players, as simple as that. "Now they say you get into the Premier League based on results. So apparently that's not the case" Results ? You just have ONE result over 2 years. Without these 3 days wonders, you wouldn't be Top 32... "Aspinall and Price. They didn't deserve it" Maybe, but never seems that you do. Other players must be picked before.cycyP309-01-2025
- Premier League is nothing more now than a pantomime where the crowd turn up and boo at the villain and cheer on the hero while getting pissed out their brains. Basically its the WWE of darts.Mysstree09-01-2025
- Is this the start of an attempt to say that he (Littler) is the best ever as he has won most money. Perhaps adjust all prize money earned by allowing for inflation. If Littler gets close too (does not even have to overtake) both MVG’s and Taylor’s Major titles total then he is in the conversation. Indicates to me that the prize money is skewed to much towards the top players, meritocracy must rule but a fair distribution of the money is needed otherwise its only ever about a select few.Mysstree09-01-2025
- £500 for 3 games seems so steep especially for those that lost 5-0 each time. I used to think Conan Whitehead was going to be a great player and was improving through the BDO but has just fizzled outrichieburnettrocks09-01-2025
- COME ON RICHIE BURNETT Safely through to the final stage an closing in on that card.richieburnettrocks09-01-2025
- It is shocking and unbelievable that 2 Hotty who was always such a decent player, 2 time World Champion and won the Grand Slam when it meant something. He really should have joined the PDC earlier. He has just disappeared off the radar. Such a shame when one of your favourite players just dissappears. I guess he is concentrating on the carpentry. I made a sign at Lakeside which must have been the biggest ever. It said we're potty for 2 Hotty, each word was on its own flip chart sheet of paper and gaffer taped together. Maybe Scotty should return to the WDF or whatever it is now.richieburnettrocks09-01-2025
