UK Open Darts 2017: Scores, Results, Updated Schedule After Saturday

Stuart NewmanMar 4, 2017

Saturday at the UK Open saw 32 become eight, as the fourth and fifth rounds took centre stage at Butlins Resort in Minehead, England.

The big story of the early stages saw Paul Hogan's fairytale story continue, as he added two-time world champion Adrian Lewis to his list of victories.

Having already knocked out Gary Anderson, the amateur qualifier defeated Lewis 10-6 to set up a last-16 tie with Gerwyn Price, but that was where his journey ended.

Price beat Hogan 10-4 to book a place in the quarter-finals, where he's joined by Peter Wright, Alan Norris, Kim Huybrechts, Ian White, Simon Whitlock, Raymond van Barneveld and Daryl Gurney.

Here's a look at the full results from another entertaining day at the UK Open:

After world No. 1 Michael van Gerwen withdrew from this year's UK Open through injury, the chance was there for someone to make a name of themselves and surge towards a major TV title.

It also gave the higher-ranked players an opportunity to surge towards the final without having to take on the best in the business, although it hasn't quite worked out that way.

Lewis' exit at the hands of Hogan has left precious few household names in the competition, and that's making for stunning spectacles.

In the best-of-19 format across two stages, the fifth round threw up some remarkable ties, none more so that Huybrechts' clash with Joe Cullen.

The Belgian was forced to weather an early storm from Cullen, but he turned it on when it came down to the crunch.

Huybrechts needed to take two straight legs at 9-8 down to win the game, and he duly accepted the challenge with a pair of strong legs. The emotions were wild when he secured double 10 to win the match, per PDC:

Huybrechts will be one to watch in the latter stages of the tournament, as will a certain van Barneveld.

Barney saw off the challenge of Alan Tabern 10-7 despite not being at his best and is certainly a dangerous prospect. With two UK Open titles to his name, the Dutchman knows his way to the title but will have to beat the hot favourite if he's to get there.

Wright stands between Barney and UK Open glory in the last eight and looks a fearsome prospect. Snakebite is in the form of his life and made very light work of Dave Chisnall and Rob Cross on Day 2.

The Scotsman is looking to lay some UK Open ghosts to rest this year.

Wright has made the final twice in as many years recently but lost out to van Gerwen. With the Green Machine out of the picture, he could well be on for his first major title.

The opening two days of this year's UK Open have been full of drama and fabulous darts, and Sunday will see the tournament come to a close in what's bound to be an explosive climax.
