Night 15 – Aberdeen
The Wizard ended his Premier League campaign with a 6-6 draw against Rob Cross.
The Aberdeen crowd were treated to nine 180s as both players fought all the way in a tense battle.
Cross had already secured his place in the Play-Offs going into the game, and showed his intent to finish the league season in style as he opened with a 112 finish.
The reigning World Champion continued his strong start to the match and went into a commanding lead at 3-1.
Whitlock, who finishes his campaign bottom of the second league stage, showed his fighting qualities to bring the game level at 4-4.
Cross broke the Australian’s throw to move 5-4 ahead with a 90 checkout, only for Whitlock to break straight back and then hold throw to move into a 6-5 lead.
However, Cross ensured he would not go into the Play-Offs on the back of a defeat as he tidied up 94 in two darts to earn a share of the spoils.
