TERRY Jenkins knocked Phil Taylor out of The Unibet Masters with a 10-7 first-round win at ArenaMK.

The Bull picked up only his fourth career victory over the 16-time world champion as Taylor suffered an off-night on his doubles.

Taylor missed seven darts at doubles as the Ledbury thrower took the opening five legs without reply before the Stoke great's switch from aiming at the double 16 area of the board to tops helped him hit back to 7-3.

He then finished 68, an 11-darter and double eight as he reduced the gap to 7-6, only for Jenkins to deny him the chance to level by taking the next two before going on to seal victory.

"I'm happy to beat Phil but I'm also disappointed with the way I played," said Jenkins.

"I've been smashing everything in practice so it was frustrating for me that I didn't play as well as I wanted to — but I did enough.

"Phil is still the man to beat and when he came back I just knew I had to hold my throw and I managed to do that.

"I'm looking forward to the quarter-finals and I'm hoping I can relax and get into the game a bit because if I take my practice game onto stage I can win this."

But Jenkins went out of the competition 10-3 to Dutch ace Raymond van Barneveld in the quarter-finals today.
