Five wins, with room to spare in the final
Clayton’s final margin was four legs, one more than in his semi-final. He won each of the five completed matches in his route by at least two legs. Those are comparisons within this tournament, not claims about his ranking or season. The PDC result records establish scores and opponents. Match averages, checkout percentages and 180 totals were not available in the inspected records, so this report does not infer them from the score.
Topper and O’Sullivan’s Women’s Series runs
Leanne Topper reached the semi-final of Women’s Series event 22 on Saturday 10 October. She beat Angela Kirkwood 5–4 in the quarter-final before losing 5–1 to Beau Greaves. Rhian O’Sullivan reached the quarter-finals of event 21 on Saturday and event 23 on Sunday. Greaves beat her 5–0 in event 21; Jade Gofford won their event 23 quarter-final 5–4. Topper’s event 22 run went one round further than O’Sullivan’s two quarter-final appearances. They were separate events, so the results should not be read as a head-to-head comparison.
