    Peter Wright finds himself under serious pressure on his own throw yet again.

    However, Kevin Doets makes a bit of mess of his set up to give Wright a chance.

    He has to take out 88, leaves himself double top but misses and Doets comes back, also needing double top, and hits it first time.
