Mensur Suljovic and Raymond van Barneveld are also without victory, and in their match the Dutchman came back from 3 legs down at 4-1, winning 4 on the bounce.He clinched the final leg to see the points shared.The draw between Price and Wade followed a similar theme, while Lennon pushed Wright hard, but could not pull off an upset.

Points won by the Contenders will not count towards the league table, but their opponents will retain theirs if they earn any from the match.
The player who finishes ninth in the table after Judgement Night in Rotterdam on 28 March will be eliminated.
The remaining eight throwers will then battle it out for a place in the top four to make it to the play-offs at The O2 Arena, London on 23 May.
