Dartoid's World - Wednesday, July 1, 2009

Greetings!

At the end of the first half of the first round of stage play here at the Desert Classic came the match the North Americans were waiting for and in the end there wasn't much to see.

Although Canadian John Part handled Sacramento's nervous Scotty Burnett 6-2 the three-times world champion was far from impressive -

Desert Classic Monday Qualifier - 30 Jun 2009

FORMER champion Peter Manley was amongst the final six qualifiers for the PartyPoker.net Las Vegas Desert Classic on Monday.

Manley, the 2003 winner, had to enter the qualifiers at the Mandalay Bay Resort after dropping outside the world's top 16 recently.

However, he bounced back from the disappointment of a defeat to Shane O'Connor on Sunday by winning through 24 hours later.

His victories on Monday included a revenge win over O'Connor, at the semi-final stage, before he whitewashed Holland's Bryan de Hoog to win his place in the first round draw.

Wes Newton, twice a Desert Classic semi-finalist, booked his spot in this year's event with a 5-1 defeat of Roland Scholten in his deciding game.

Newton also saw off Graham Warburton, Mark Carter and Paul Lim on the day, with the latter pushing the Fleetwood ace all the way to a deciding leg.

Scotland's Gary Anderson secured a Desert Classic debut, overcoming Sam Rooney 5-1 in the final and also knocking out number four seed Mark Dudbridge.

Colin Monk bounced back from a second round exit on Sunday to win his first Desert Classic appearance with a 5-3 defeat of Canadian Ken MacNeil.

He also defeated John Murray, Kevin Dowling and Denis Ovens to earn his place in the main event, just weeks after hitting a nine-darter in a Players Championship in Barnsley.

New Zealander Phillip Hazel will make his first-ever televised appearance after condemning Barrie Bates to defeat in the final game for a second successive day.

Bates lost to Australian Simon Whitlock on Sunday and went down 5-2 to Hazel a day later, as the 53-year-old joiner from Napier progressed to the big stage.

Another player to ensure a first full appearance in front of the Sky Sports cameras is Chorley's Louis Blundell, whose only other televised event was the UK Open in Bolton last month.

Blundell was a 5-3 winner against Mark Lawrence in his deciding game to secure a spot in the Desert Classic.
