ROLAND has yet to show his best form in the World Championship, with two quarter-final appearances his best showings at the Circus Tavern.
A strong performer who has been a regular fixture in the PDC's top ten in recent years, Scholten claimed the 2004 UK Open title to add to his 1993 success in the World Cup Singles event.
He was also the runner-up in the 2006 Premier League, and took victory in the Thialf Darts Trophy in June to end a three-year wait for a title on the circuit.
One of the strongest 180 scorers in the sport, Scholten has shown some superb form in the Grand Slam of Darts last month, blowing away Mervyn King in the group phase, and in defeating long-time rival Raymond van Barneveld en route to the semi-finals of the German Darts Championship.
