Padding out the pension I’d say.
But if he gets tanked this year he probably won’t get the invite next year anyway
They wheeled out a well-finished Barney for a good while so you’d never know.
UK Open starting at 11
Had the winner last year with Andrew Gilding at 200/1 so no pressure this year 
It’s an open draw so with a bit of luck a few could go on a run.
Gary Anderson win only 11/1
Gian Van Veen 80/1 ew
Callan Rydz 100/1 ew
Wessel Nijman 175/1 ew
Steve Lennon 350/1 ew
Alan Soutar 250/1 ew
Ross Smith 50/1 ew
Ew 4 places 1/4 odds

I see Littler bate Smith last night using a different set of darts. They only launched recently so Target are keen to push them I’d say. They’d be the same dimensions but the grip would be a lot different from his usual setup.
He still averaged 106.97 using the loadouts.
Only averaged 92 in the loss to Rob Cross.
Is he throwing a bit slower? Doesn’t suit him.
Watching him play Wade now. Looks to be throwing a bit slower alright.
He’s using the cheaper loadout darts again tonight.
Mensur beat Van Gerwen.
The shoulder seemed to be giving Van Gerwen some bother.
Price gone too.

Has Josh Rock levelled off a bit or has Luke Littler stolen his thunder?
Looks to have levelled off a bit. With Littler going so well now he might be able to kick on another bit. This is only his 3rd year on the tour so still early days for him.

I wouldn’t have had Rob Cross down as only being 5 years older than me 
Sure Littler probably looks older than ya. Cross was woeful just there with the doubles a cynic would think he lost that last leg on purpose.

Never thought Heta could play to this level.
unreal standard.
6-4 to heta - astrononical averages from both.
He can light it up on the floor events but this is the first time I can recall him playing to his best on stage.
10-8 he held his nerve there to win
Littler is something else. He will dominate darts for years.
