The 22-year-old now faces 10th seed Gerwyn Price of Wales in the second round at the North London venue.
Reigning champion Luke Humphries, meanwhile, beat Frenchman Thibault Tricole 3-0.
Price is definitely there for the taking … Well done Keane
Good win for him and has a chance against Price who hasn’t been playing well
Played excellent. On his day he’ll give anyone a game but like most quick throwers he’s inconsistent.
@Brian Dunne: totally agree , definitely a bit too quick on the draw and that goes against him, but take nothing away from a fantastic win! Onwards and upwards keano !
