MARK WEBSTER overcame a slow start to win five successive legs in taking a 6-2 victory over Steve Beaton in the Cash Converters Players Championship.The Welsh left-hander now meets number one seed Justin Pipe in Saturday's second round following the hard-fought victory.
Webster took the early lead by finishing double ten to win the opening leg after Beaton was unable to convert double top for a 120 checkout.
Beaton hit back well with a 13-dart leg to level, posting a 180 and double top in the process, and double 16 in the third saw him move 2-1 up.
He also landed another maximum in the fourth, but missed three darts to extend his advantage as Webster levelled before taking the lead on double ten with an 11-dart finish.
The Welshman then posted tops to move 4-2 up and took out double five - with Beaton waiting on 40 - to edge towards victory.
He handed Beaton a lifeline with a missed double 16 for the match, but Beaton was unable to land the bull and Webster posted double two to seal his last 16 spot.
