Close call but Evo gets my vote.

Ooh difficult but have come down on side of Dan because I just love watching him play with all the variety of shot that he has.

 Bally drawn back equal 2nd again

That is really interesting - I didnt expect anyone to make headway against the combined Dan and Bally, but J-W is doing very well here.
