Part Wins Stan James Players
Championship - Saturday
JOHN PART continued his
winning run with victory in Saturday's Stan James
Players Championship in Gibraltar.
The Canadian returned to action for the first time since winning the Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship on New Year's Day with a quality display of consistency and class.
After staring defeat in the face against Mark Dudbridge in the last 16 - when the Bristolian missed six darts for victory - Part overcame Alex Roy and Andy Jenkins to reach the final and then see off Chris Mason 3-1.
He made his mark early, coming from behind to win the first set 2-1, although Mason hit straight back to take the second in the same manner.
Finishes of 143 and 87 from Part gave him the third and a 66 finish on double 18 put him a leg away from the win.
Mason took the next on double top to stay in the game, but Part landed double 16 at the first time of asking to seal victory.
Mason defeated Wayne Atwood, Darren Latham, Colin Osborne and Dave Askew to reach the quarter-finals, and landed five 180s and two crucial bull finishes in coming from two sets down against Steve Beaton in the last eight.
He swept past Alan Tabern in straight sets in the semis, but had no answer to Part's clinical accuracy on the doubles.
Number one seed James Wade was an early casualty, with Gary Mawson coming from two sets down and a leg down to knock out the Stan James World Matchplay and SkyBet World Grand Prix winner.
Dutch duo Jelle Klaasen and Michael van Gerwen were first round casualties, losing to Beaton and Tabern respectively.
Beaton's further wins over Bob Crawley, Chris Thompson and Jason Barry took him into his first quarter-final since last June.
Andy Jenkins edged out Kevin Painter in a final-leg epic in the quarter-finals, with the Portsmouth thrower having six perfect darts at one stage during the win.
