RAYMOND VAN BARNEVELD won two matches on Friday afternoon to book his place in the third round of the Coral UK Open, as Paul Hogan whitewashed former finalist John Part at the Butlins Minehead Resort. The £250,000 tournament kicked off on Friday as the majority of the 138 qualifiers began their bid for the title in the Preliminary, First and Second Rounds, with play across eight stages. Dutch star van Barneveld, the 2006 and 2007 UK Open champion, had to defeat Rileys Amateur Qualifiers Tony Broughton and Martin Stead to win through to Friday nights last 64, where he now plays Newarks Mick Todd. Im happy with that, said van Barneveld. Both players played really well against me so Im happy that I had some good finishes at the right time to get me through. Its been like old-school darts and this event is all about giving players a chance at this level. Every rounds like a final because these lads all came here thinking that they can win the tournament, which is great for the PDC. Ill have a couple of hours of rest now and hopefully I can get another good result tonight. Its been fantastic to win this tournament before but I just want to make sure that my names in the fourth round draw later tonight. Todd had also won two games on Friday afternoon, as he edged out Mick Baker before defeating Dave Weston 5-3. There was disappointment, though, for three-time World Champion John Part as the 2004 UK Open runner-up was whitewashed in the second round by another amateur qualifier, Paul Hogan. Experienced Hampshire ace Hogan also overcame Adam Cousins on the opening afternoon, and now progresses to play Dutch youngster Benito van de Pas, who picked up wins over Doug Thompson and David Dodds. Stokes Ian White claimed a 5-4 victory over Daryl Gurney in thrilling style, setting up a possible nine-darter in the deciding leg of their game with two 180s and hitting a seventh perfect dart - missing the treble 19 for a 141 finish but returning to secure the win. White now plays Peter Hudson, who enjoyed a 5-2 win over experienced UK Open ever-present Dennis Smith in their second round clash. Jelle Klaasens 5-1 win over John Henderson means that he now plays Andy Hamilton, the 2013 UK Open runner-up, while whitewash wins for Ronny Huybrechts and Steve Maish, against Adrian Gray and Ben ward respectively, see them play Simon Whitlock and Nigel Heydon respectively. Nottinghams 22-year-old Aden Kirk defeated Conan Whitehead and Gerwyn Price on his UK Open debut as he set up a Third Round date with reigning UK Open champion Phil Taylor on Friday evening. World Champion Michael van Gerwen will face former World Youth Champion James Hubbard in the last 64, with the Norfolk ace having to defeat Jeff Batham and Steve Hine to progress to the evening session. Aberdeens Jason Hogg defeated Wolverhamptons Wayne Jones 5-3 as he set up an all-Scottish third round game with Robert Thornton, the 2012 UK Open champion. Former Grand Slam of Darts semi-finalist Kevin McDine had to defeat Sheffield amateur Aaron Holdstock, Australias Kyle Anderson and Scottish newcomer Ewan Hyslop as he won through to the last 64. Simon Stevenson, an amateur qualifier from Plymouth, defeated Ian Jones, Jason Lovett and Mark Barilli as he moved into the Third Round to play Belgiums Rocco maes. Tony Randell and Andy Boulton complete a quartet of the Rileys Amateur Qualifiers who have won through to the Third Round, as they prepare to face Mensur Suljovic and Dean Winstanley respectively. Kevin Dowlings wins over Chris Dobey and Jamie Caven mean that he now plays reigning Lakeside Champion Stephen Bunting, who is making his first televised appearance since joining the PDC circuit recently. Wes Newton, who missed Thursdays Betway Premier League Darts with tonsillitis, has withdrawn from the Coral UK Open, with his planned Third Round opponent Andrew Gilding receiving a Bye. The Coral UK Open is being played from March 7-9 at the Butlins Minehead Resort in Somerset, with play being held across eight stages on Friday evening and on four stages on Saturday before the action focuses on the main stage for Sundays decisive final day.
