THE DRAW for the first night of the UK Open at Bolton's Reebok Stadium has taken place.
None of the four Hampshiremen in the first phase of the event are drawn in a preliminary round.
Robbie Newland starts against Rileys Amateur qualifier John Robertson and Dennis Smith waits for the winner in round 2.
Danny Pinhorne will play the winner from the preliminary match between Rileys qualifier Reece Robinson and Lothian county qualifier Hugh Ringland. Victory will mean he faces Richie Burnett or Lousi Blundell.
Paul Gibbs who came through the Rileys Amateur Qualifiers at Bournemouth faces another Rileys qualifier Mark Wilson. His second round, if successful will be against Robert Thornton.
Tony Hutchinson who won the Hampshire county qualifier starts against Darren Sullivan and will be hoping to survive to face Steve Evans.
Father and son Colin and Arron Monk both face tough openers against Darren Johnson and Nick Fullwell in the second round. Their finishing positions in the final table excuse them from having to play in the first round.
James Wade will join the event on the second night in the third round. The draw for the third round takes place after the second round is complete.
The event opens on Thursday 3 June and is live on Sky Sports.
