Last updated : 15 November 2009 By Ziad Chaudhry in Wolverhampton

Coventry comeback kid Steve Beaton won his opening Group F game in the PartyPoker.com Grand Slam of Darts at Wolverhampton Civic Centre this afternoon. 

The 45-year-old, who has recently been on a rich vain of form with a title and adding £40,000 on his winnings on the PDC circuit, beat Dutchman Co Stomp  legs to 2 and will next play last year's semi-finalist Scotland's Gary Anderson, who also won his opener 5-2 against Kevin McDine, tomorrow evening.

 "I put the pressure on Co from the start and thankfully he missed a couple of chances," said Beaton. I'm very happy with today's result."
