Third seed Peter Wright moved into the second round of the PDC World Darts Championship with a 3-0 defeat of Jerry Hendriks.

Holland's Hendricks, who earlier booked his place in the first round with a 2-0 preliminary round victory over Warren Parry, had a chance to take the second set but was left to regret missed doubles.

Gerwyn Price became the first seed to exit the competition, as Jonny Clayton ousted the No.19 3-1 at Alexandra Palace.

However, 27th seed Steve Beaton did manage to reach the second round of the event with a 3-1 win over Devon Petersen in Friday's other match.
