A tour card player beats another, it happens usually. Well done Royden anyway.

Maishy will be chuffed.

watched the last game live only.
Asian legend Royden Lam played the UK's Jerry or Barry? Anderson. I didn't quite catch his first name.
It was the one that wasn't Kyle Anderson, the other one was who it was.
Anyhow, bottom line, Royden won

Gary Anderson (45.5%) 5-6 (54.5%) Royden Lam

(1) Gary Anderson v Royden Lam
Michael Smith v Xiaochen Zong
(4) Michael van Gerwen v Lihao Wen
Daryl Gurney v Lourence Ilagan
(2) Rob Cross v Chengan Liu
James Wade v Hailong Chen
(3) Peter Wright v Seigo Asada
Gerwyn Price v Yuanjun Liu

Wright definitely has the hardest tie.

Would be very surprised if any of the non-Asian players lose though.

Any luck?

Huge win for Lam. I'd completely forgotten he was the Asian Tour OoM leader.

Extraordiroyden.

The Thorn wrote:4 out of the 5 Chinese players averaged near or above the 80 mark. A definite improvement over last year, very good to see.

Sounds good.

All I saw was the end of the Wright-Asada game, and Krusty saying he practised with one set of darts but played with another and zzzz tinkering to oblivion.

Some monster stats by Wadey again, first 9 average of 123, all suggests he's staying on it. I still say Matchplay final for him.

Saturday July 14 (6.30pm local time)
Quarter-Finals
Royden Lam v Michael Smith
Michael van Gerwen v Daryl Gurney
Rob Cross v James Wade
Peter Wright v Gerwyn Price

Semi Finals

Cross/Wade v Wright/Price

Final

All games best of 15 legs

See the PDC got a first-time(?) headline sponsor for this. "It's a ghost town out there"

The Chinaman wins over "Scottish Grit." I'll be interested to see where the betting was on this one. Did Gary throw another match?

spoiler warning.....

watched the Royden "in like a lion, out like a" Lam vs Michael "ink neck" Smith match this morning.
I was hoping, but, alas, despite having the higher average, royden's march in the Shaghai Masters came to an end.
8-5

That will be a huge relief for Smithy.

This won't be though:

Cut his finger on the engraving

A single average over 100 today...
Chuffed for Smith anyway, well done

"Michael van Gerwen is winning literally everything in darts"

Except the match play, grand prix, UK open, world's......

In terms of TV events, MVG has only won the Premier League and World Cup this year. He didn't win the Worlds, UK Open, and the 3 World Series events. Last year he didn't win UK Open, Grand Prix or Matchplay. Although he did dominate the ITV events and the Grand Slam.

If you only really watch PDC events that are on TV (like me), MVG's dominance isn't that much of an issue.

Eight little Injuns gayest under heav'n.
One went to sleep and then there were seven;

Smith.

"I have just won on stage and it feels amazing. It's my third title of the year and after the Premier League I was getting doubts in my head whether I would get another chance to win a TV title, but I got it today."
