PDC Walk On World Cup: Mardle knocks out Van Gerwen to reach semi-finals

Only four players remain to battle it out for the 2020 PDC Walk On World Cup after the latest polls were completed.

Among those through include Wayne Mardle who pulled off the unthinkable to defeat Michael Van Gerwen. He was 63%-37% down but rallied his followers on Twitter to vote for him and they did with ‘Hawaii 501’ claiming it 53%-47% in the end.

Next up for Mardle is Devon Petersen who saw off Robert Thornton (57.9%-42.1%) to win through as The African Warrior’s popular walk on survives once again.

The other semi-final sees Raymond van Barneveld against Peter Wright. ‘Barney’ edged past Daryl Gurney (50.8%-49.2%). While for Wright he eased through on the other hand against Dave Chisnall (72.9%-27.1%) as he confirmed the line-up.

So Mardle, Petersen, Wright and Van Barneveld remain. Who will move one step closer to winning? The Polling opens shortly for the last round.
