Good to have a bona fida Major as a nice break from the drudgery of the PL.

Starts Friday afternoon from Minehead with the first round draw here. Plenty of unknown names who won 'HighScore over 9 darts' pub qualifiers, but good luck to them anyway.

More familiar names in Round 2 and then the top players get involved in Round 3 on Friday night at the Last 64 stage.
An open draw after every round.

Always enjoy this tournament the FA cup of darts

ArmaniJeanss · 02-03-2017 10:47AM

MVG out of the DPL tonight (Chizzy plays twice instead) and a doubt for the UK Open. Back injury.

Kingp35 · 02-03-2017 11:32AM

UK Open is a great tournament, the open draw makes it.

It's a pity two of the Irish lads got drawn against each other. Willie O'Connor is playing Steve Lennon in round 2.

ArmaniJeanss · 02-03-2017 11:38AM

Shocking how far Paul Nicholson has fallen that he can't even qualify for a comp where the Top 96 on the Order of Merit get in.

Also no Corey Cadby which is disappointing after the way he burst onto the scene late last year.

Could be a bit of value backing Anderson now and being in a good spot if MVG doesn't make it.

Only Paddies and BetfairSB have kept the outright market up.

Taylor must be a bit sick mind you, only just noticed he didn't bother trying to qualify. Could have started as joint favourite.

mdwexford · 02-03-2017 11:58AM

Snakes. Should have known they'd be ahead of the game.

Yeah was surprised Taylor didn't bother, this one could have been a good chance for him with the open draw.

He didn't enter any of the qualifiers, he must be back in Australia doing their tour.

be great to see somebody diff win a major

im a big anderson fan but i wouldnt put money on him
hasnt done great here over the years

nice to see wright finally get 1

mdwexford · 03-03-2017 01:57PM

Shame for MVG to miss it and not be able to defend his title. He must really be in a lot of pain.

Does open up the tournament though. Wright is in top form, must really fancy a run at it.

h7nlrp2v0g5u48 · 03-03-2017 02:04PM

Would love to see Wright win.He played well last night and always seems to be there abouts but fails at the last hurdle.

KevIRL · 03-03-2017 03:46PM

A bye for someone in round 3 then.

O Connor and Gurney through to round 3

KevIRL · 03-03-2017 05:37PM

mdwexford · 03-03-2017 08:11PM

Lewis 20/1 looks a bit of value to me.

Playing well in the premier league the last couple of weeks. Nightmare draw but has a good record vs Wade who isn't playing great at the moment.

KevIRL · 03-03-2017 08:58PM

Will O Connor and Gurney comfortably through to round 4.

ThebitterLemon · 03-03-2017 09:04PM

Agree that Lewis looks like the value, reckon Wright will flatter to deceive again!

Missus relegated me to the other tv that's about 16" so when I turned on the darts I thought Richardson was Taylor grumpy twin!

Is Klaasen not playing?

Just on the many darts Twitter accounts I follow. The PDC and LiveDarts are pretty good and are updating the results as games finish.

Dolan beaten.

Wade v Lewis shaping up well, Wade blew the last leg there

ThebitterLemon · 03-03-2017 10:28PM

Does anyone else think Lewis has lost a few pounds/stone, looks a lot better than at times in the recent past

TbL

mdwexford · 03-03-2017 10:36PM

Good match.

Lewis scoring was great, up those doubles and he will be hard to beat.

KevIRL · 03-03-2017 10:43PM

Mick McGowan loses

What odds Lewis now, saw your post too late to get on at 20's, that was savage value
