Veenstra hit double 18 to force the final leg after qualifier Heydon produced a brilliant 132 on his way to a 5-4 lead, and the Dutchman kept his cool to hit double 16 for a famous victory.

He will face former BDO champion Scott Waites in the last 16 after the two-time winner overcame Jeffrey Van Egdom 3-1 in the opening match on Sunday.

Poland's world number 133 Krzysztof Kciuk walloped home the highest checkout of the tournament so far with a 160 in his 3-1 win over Dane Brian Lokken in the preliminary round.

Enjoying an average of 88, he will face England's Dave Parletti in the first round on Tuesday.

Adam Smith-Neale struggled out to the oche on crutches but soon limped out of the tournament as Mark McGrath won 3-0, and in the final match of the day Wayne Warren whitewashed Mark Layton.

In the women's event, third seed Deta Hedman crashed out, losing 2-0 to Maria O'Brien in the first round.

Her exit came a day after defending champion Lisa Ashton lost 2-0 to Mikuru Suzuzi on Saturday.
