Welshman Clayton beat Wesley Plaisier 8-5 to become the 14th different winner in as many Players Championship events in 2024. “Confidence is low when you’re not picking up results, but I’ve got my mojo back,” said Clayton, who overcame Darren Beveridge, Andy Baetens, James Hurrell, Dom Taylor, Martin Schindler and Cameron Menzies on his way to the final. “It’s a great time to get your form back with the World Matchplay coming up, and hopefully I can go one step further this year.” Wednesday’s action marked the last event before the cut-off for World Matchplay qualification, with 2007 champion James Wade securing the final place in the 32-player field.
