Stunning weekend performance from Robert Thornton.

He won both Players Championships in Wigan, earning a rather splendid total of £20,000.

On Saturday, he beat Kevin Thomas, John Part, Dave Ladley, James Wade, Kim Huybrechts and Gary Anderson, before defeating Keegan Brown in the final.

Today, he saw off Ryan Palmer, James Richardson, Dean Winstanley, Justin Pipe, Darren Webster and Stephen Bunting, before claiming a 6-4 win against a resurgent Terry Jenkins in the final.

Not bad going.

Good to see Jenkins do well too.

It certainly is. He's not quite falling away yet.

One man who appears to be in permanent decline is Colin Lloyd, who was brushed aside in the Austrian Open qualifier on Friday night, before winning just one match during the weekend. That was only the fourth victory he has recorded this year, and he has earned a paltry total of £1,000.

Just over three years ago he was ranked 9th in the Order of Merit, and he looks set to fall out of the Top 32 in the near future, with around £20,000 to fall off his total in the next two months.

Incidentally, here was the Top 32 going into the 2011 World Championship. Quite a few changes in that time!
