He also lost to Danny Noppert but a 5-2 win over Martin Schindler sees Menzies progress on legs won.

Menzies will return to action in the second round on Wednesday – once he is finished with his other job.

The Scot works as a plumber and is always at work from Tuesday to Thursday, having reduced his working hours recently.

He told Sky Sports after he progressed at the Grand Slam of Darts: “I don’t work Monday and Fridays now but I’m back to work tomorrow no matter what happens.

“It’s a bit different being here than it is being with a toolbag.

“Tuesday, Wednesday I’m in [work], hopefully depending how results go but yeah I’m in Tuesday and Wednesday.

“I’m meant to be going to a gig Thursday in Glasgow but hopefully I don’t make it.”

Menzies revealed he penned a new contract with his company that has allowed him to reduce his workload – just in time for the Grand Slam of Darts.

He said: “I’ve just signed a new contract with them.

“I’ve changed my hours so I’m working three days a week now instead of five days which is a lot better for me.

“I asked the office and they were happy to do it – I just had to go to HR.

“They’ve been massively helpful with me.”

At last year’s world championships, Menzies played at Alexandra Palace just hours after carrying out a plumbing job.

Menzies could face partner Sherrock at the world championships next month if they are drawn together in the first round.

And a more hectic darts schedule could eventually lead to him packing in plumbing for good.

He added: “If I start doing more exhibitions and stuff I do think I might have to make a choice.”
