Canada's Jeff Smith wins PDC Tour Card at Qualifying School - Day Three
Canada’s Jeff Smith was the day’s other Tour Card winner, as he joins three-time World Champion John Part in representing his country on the PDC circuit.
The 36-year-old automotive painter defeated Steve Haggerty, Belgium’s Rocco Maes, Keith Stephen, Ireland’s Campbell Jackson and Stephen Hardy to reach the last eight, where he saw off Ross Smith 6-2.
“It’s absolutely unbelievable, I’m close to tears,” said Smith. “I’ve been dreaming about this my whole life.
“I’ve played in the PDC’s tournaments in Canada previously to see how good I am, and last August when I went to London, Ontario I knew I had to come here to Qualifying School.
“I intend to come over as much as I can and hopefully I can get the sponsorship to do the full tour. John Part’s been a big inspiration for me in Canada and it will be great to play alongside him in the PDC this year.”
