Five Retain Ever-Present UK Open Record

James Wade (PDC)

FIVE players will maintain an ever-present record in the Coral UK Open TV Finals in next month's event at the Butlin's Minehead Resort.

James Wade, 2014 finalist Terry Jenkins, former semi-finalist Steve Beaton and two-time quarter-finalists Wayne Jones and Alex Roy will make their 16th UK Open appearances when they take to the stage in Minehead on March 2.

Left-hander Wade was the UK Open champion in 2008 and 2011 with his successes in Bolton, while Jenkins was the 2014 runner-up to Adrian Lewis following the event's move to Minehead.

Beaton was a semi-finalist in the 2004 UK Open, while both Jones and Roy - a Rileys Amateur Qualifier this year - are two-time quarter-finalists.

This will be the first UK Open not to feature Kevin Painter, another former semi-finalist, while five-time champion Phil Taylor and veteran star Dennis Smith lost their ever-present records 12 months ago.

Former champion Lewis is making his 15th successive UK Open appearance this year, having competed in every event since making his breakthrough as a teenager in 2004.
