THE draw for the first and second rounds of the Blue Square UK Open on Thursday June 4 has been made.
The £200,000 tournament will kick off at Bolton's Reebok Stadium with 97 players in action, as the professional players are joined by 31 Holsten Qualifiers.
The one preliminary round game will feature Holsten Qualifiers Gary Stephens against Ken Mather, while the first round sees the remaining amateurs drawn alongside the players ranked from 65-97 in the Blue Square UK Open Order of Merit.
Plum ties in the first round include 2004 champion Roland Scholten against Derek Williams, Anastasia Dobromyslova against Stoke's Andy Roberts and Alex Roy against ex-World Champion Richie Burnett.
Gary Mawson, last year's UK Open runner-up to James Wade, drew Holsten Qualifier Darren Weaver for his opener.
The second round saw PDC newcomer Gary Anderson draw Paul Nicholson, another Bolton debutant and a quarter-finalist in the Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship at Christmas.
John Part, a former UK Open runner-up, meets Irishman Mick McGowan, while Wayne Mardle will take on Les Fitton or Mark Cox.
The field of Holsten Qualifiers will total 31 following the withdrawal of Peter Green, while the draw was made by former World Champion Keith Deller and Sky Sports' Sid Waddell ahead of the Whyte & Mackay Premier League Darts Play-Offs.
The third round draw - featuring the top 32 players from the UK Open Order of Merit, including defending champion James Wade and world number one Phil "The Power" Taylor - will be made at the close of play in the second round.
Tickets are still available for the Blue Square UK Open, with prices starting at £10 via 0844 871 2932 or in person at the Reebok Stadium Box Office.
