TERRY Jenkins produced an impressive display to swiftly end Simon Whitlock's PartyPoker.net Las Vegas Desert Classic hopes with a 6-1 victory.

Ledbury's Jenkins showed the form which took him to the 2007 Desert Classic final to sweep past the qualifier.

After missing double top for a 160 finish in the opening leg, he landed double 10 to lead before Whitlock took out double eight to level.

But Jenkins repeated the double 10 finish to lead 2-1 and then hit tops to break throw.

A fine 106 finish put Jenkins 4-1 up, and he hit scores of 180 and 140 to leave double top in the next, applying enough pressure to force Whitlock to miss his one dart at the same bed.

Jenkins then sealed the win with a 98 checkout, finishing on double 12 to set up a tasty second round game with Colin Lloyd.

Elsewhere, Jelle Klaasen powered into the second round with a 6-2 demolition of Ronnie Baxter, from Evesham.

Baxter entered the Desert Classic on the back of a semi-final appearance in the UK Open last month and Tuesday's Las Vegas Players Championship victory, but failed to hit top gear against the Dutchman.

While Klaasen missed doubles in the opening leg, which Baxter took on double top against the throw, the youngster replied with three successive legs to edge away.

Double 16 for a 14-darter saw Baxter cut the gap to 3-2, but he missed the bullseye to level in the next before Klaasen took out double top.

A neat two-dart 61 finish put Klaasen a leg away from victory, which he sealed in style with a 12-darter, landing back-to-back 180s and double eight for the match.
