What the official record shows

The PDC tournament feed publishes the scores and match path but does not currently provide three-dart averages, 180 totals, checkout rates or high checkouts for these matches. Those measures have therefore not been added.

What happens next

The ranked, non-televised ProTour tournament continues at Maassport Den Bosch without a Welsh player in the last 32.
