GORDON MATHERS and Tic Bridge have been confirmed alongside Kyle Anderson as DPA Order of Merit Qualifiers the Sydney Darts Masters, while Chad Stack and Steve MacArthur shared the spoils in the latest Australian Grand Prix weekend.
Mathers' run to a semi-final and a final on the double-header weekend in Perth ensured that he remains second in the DPA Order of Merit behind runaway leader Anderson, while third-placed Bridge also sealed his spot at Luna Park ahead of John Bunyard.
Mathers won through to the semi-finals of Saturday's Firma Industries Open before losing out 6-4 to Stack, who went on to defeat Beau Anderson in a deciding leg in the final.
Sunday's Bickley Irrigation Open was won by Steve MacArthur, who overcame Mathers 6-3 in the final.
The final three places in the Sydney Darts Masters will be filled by players who win through the three Qualifiers, to be held on August 25, 26 and 27 at Warilla, NSW.
