Wade dodges the bullet.

Reigning champion James Wade survived by the skin of his teeth to make it through to the third round of the Speedy Services UK Open.

'The Machine' won 4-3 at the end of a thriller against Stephen Bunting on the main stage at the Reebok in Bolton - though it could have been all so different had 'The Bullet' found the target when it really mattered.

The 27-year-old from St Helens had no less than four chances to seal the biggest upset on a highly-entertaining opening night, including three attempts at double 19 in the deciding leg.

Thornton stuns Taylor in UK Open.

http://www.sportinglife.com/others/n...9.html&BID=678

Quote:

Scotland's Robert Thornton shocked Phil Taylor 11-5 in the final of the Speedy Services UK Open in Bolton to win his first major title.

The 15-time world champion was attempting to win his fifth UK Open title but he had no answers to the rampant Scotsman in a one-sided final.

Taylor led 2-0 in the best-of-21 leg final but the wheels came off his challenge in the third leg as he missed 10 darts at a double and Thornton hit double one to get on the board.

The Stoke veteran steadied the ship to lead 3-2, but from there on it was almost all one-way traffic.

Thornton hit double top to break and lead 4-3, then took out 106 to lead 5-3. That quickly became 9-3 as Taylor continued to wobble on the finishes as Thornton took ruthless advantage.

Taylor did manage to win the 13th leg but Thornton continued to hold with ease and at 10-5 he hit a 121 checkout with a bullseye finish to take the title.

He also wins £40,000 and a place in the Grand Slam of Darts.

"I'm very proud," Thornton told Sky Sports. "My kids are going to be up jumping all over the place.

Pipe stuns nine-dart Wes.

Quote:

Just 24 hours after Michael van Gerwen's quickfire nine-darter, Newton lifted the roof again with a perfect leg midway through his last-16 clash with Pipe.

Newton followed a 180 with a 177 and nailed a 144-checkout on double 12 to move 6-5 ahead, and the world No 5 looked in control at 10-8 ahead before Pipe produced a stirring finish.

Pipe, who had earlier taken out a superb 132 finish with two bulls and a double 16, reeled off five straight legs to reach the quarter-finals for the first time in a major tournament.
Quote:

In Thursday's opening match, Andy Hamilton reeled off seven successive legs to earn an impressive 13-6 victory over former BDO world champion Mark Webster.

The Welshman had fought back from 6-3 down to level at 6-6, but Hamilton upped his game and backed up his high scoring with quality finishing to seal a last-eight clash with Phil Taylor, who beat Ian White 13-3.
