Hughes produced three averages around the 108 mark before seeing off Kirk Shepherd 5-1 to secure it. 'Yozza' spoke afterwards and said that his
Q-School disappointment and subsequent year on the Challenge Tour toughened him up and stood him in good stead.
"This has always been the dream for me and I'm over the moon to win my Tour Card on Day One," said Hughes.
"Last year I was a big favourite to win a Tour Card but I ended up playing on the Challenge Tour which toughened me up and stood me in good stead to go again this year.
"When I have played on the ProTour I've been losing with ton-plus averages so that showed me where my game needs to be at and today I think I produced the standard you need to be at to compete."
