Latest Order of Merit standings: Aspinall up to sixth

Nathan Aspinall

Nathan Aspinall has risen to a career-high sixth position on the PDC Order of Merit after the Belgian Darts Championship.

Aspinall enjoyed a run to the quarter-finals of the first European Tour event of the year, adding enough prize money to his Order of Merit total to leapfrog Gary Anderson and Daryl Gurney, both of whom did not feature in Hasselt.

The biggest riser following the tournament was Dirk van Duijvenbode, whose fairytale run to the semi-finals saw him rise 15 places, from 94th to 79th.

The PDC Order of Merit will be open to change again this weekend at the Ladbrokes UK Open.
