Martin of the “Prins”ipality
slays seeded Dave
Championship
debutant Dave Prins became the seventh seed to crash out in an opening two day
of shocks at Frimley Green.
The 41-year-old
from Peterlee in County Durham was thrashed 3-0 by experienced Welsh left-handed
veteran Martin Phillips.
Dolgellau-based
Phillips who made his tournament debut back in 1991 and reached the last eight
12 months later is Wales’ only representative in the championship.
He won through
to the second round and a clash with Paul Carter - the conqueror of 10th
seed Martin Atkins – with a breathtaking 106 checkout.
Phillips, the
skipper of Wales and his country’s most capped player,
produced a clinical performance notching a maximum and three 140s as he
annexed the opening set unchallenged.
He followed up
taking the next 3-1 and then fired in a 12-darter as he clinched the third set
in the deciding fifth set.
