PDC UK Open Qualifiers- 4

BRENDAN DOLAN won the fourth Coral UK Open Qualifier at the Robin Park Tennis Centre in Wigan, with a 6-1 victory in the decider against Jamie Lewis.
The former World Grand Prix finalist bounced back from first round exits in each of the first three qualifiers a fortnight ago, at the same venue, to claim the £10,000 winners prize on Friday, confirming his spot in the televised finals next month.

Dolan started his day of triumph with a tough 6-4 win over Jason Wilson before overcoming Essex's Michael Barnard by a 6-3 margin to reach the last 32 stage.

The Northern Irishman followed that with a 6-2 win against Chris Aubrey before stepping up a gear with a 103.66 average to thrash St Helens ace Michael Smith 6-0.

Dolan hit a 170 checkout in his 6-4 win over Holland's Dirk van Duijvenbode in the last eight before beating Kim Huybrechts by the same scoreline in a semi-final contest where he recorded six 180s.

Dolan made a fine start to the final against Wales' Jamie Lewis as he won the opening three legs of the game, including finishes of 61 and 100 in the first two.

Lewis hit a 61 finish to take the fourth leg before Dolan hit 180s in each of the next two to move 5-1 up and go a leg away from triumph.

The seventh leg saw Lewis miss a dart at bullseye and that proved to be the end for the Welshman as Dolan landed double 16 to claim his third PDC Pro Tour title.

Lewis' run to his second PDC Pro Tour Final - matching his performance in Gibraltar last summer - began with wins over Andrew Johnson and Ryan Palmer for the loss of the just one leg before overcoming fellow countryman and 1996 world champion Richie Burnett in a deciding leg.

That put the 22-year-old through to the last 32 where he defeated Pete Dyos before a dramatic 6-5 win over Justin Pipe sealed a quarter-final place after converting a 110 checkout to win the match.

Lewis comfortably defeated Christian Kist by a 6-1 margin to reach the last four where he produced a fantastic performance over world number one and reigning world champion Michael van Gerwen, with a 108.07 average, to win 6-4 and progress to the final.

The Welsh youngster was unable to replicate his semi-final display in the final against a solid Dolan, but took away the runners-up prize of £5,000 after a brilliant effort.

Van Gerwen and Kim Huybrechts produced fine runs to the semi-finals while James Wade produced his best performance in a Pro Tour event since last October, as he reached the last eight.

The seven-time major champion produced fighting qualities in his last 16 clash against Darren Webster, overturning a 5-1 deficit to win 6-5 after the Norwich missed numerous chances to win it.

Wade also fought back from 4-0 down to level at 4-4 in his quarter-final against Kim Huybrechts before the Belgian recovered to take the last two legs, winning the match with a 108 checkout to deny the Aldershot star a semi-final spot.

2012 Lakeside champion Christian Kist enjoyed his best performance in a PDC event to date, as he reached the last eight in Wigan and was joined by fellow Dutchman Dirk van Duijvenbode, while Andy Smith also took away a cheque for £1,500 following his run to the quarter-finals.

Five-time world champion lost his opening game to Ireland's Michael Mansell while fellow top ten star Andy Hamilton - who won the first Coral UK Open Qualifier - also suffered an early exit.

The final two Coral UK Open Qualifiers will be held in Wigan on Saturday and Sunday which will confirm the top 96 players, plus ties, who will progress to the televised stages of the tournament in Minehead next month.
