Taylor poised to win in Vegas

Ten-times world champion Phil Taylor powered into the final of the inaugural Las Vegas Desert Classic with a convincing win over Liverpool’s Lee Palfreyman at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

The 41-year-old from Stoke-on-Trent completed a 3-0 semi-final success to book a date with Ronnie Baxter in tonight’s decider at the $100,000 (€102,700) event.
