Race to PDC World Championship: De Graaf, Edhouse and Johnson move into provisional spots
NewsWednesday, 12 September 2018 at 10:30
The latest European Tour event in Maastricht has thrown up some new names in the race to the World Championship at the end of the year.
Ritchie Edhouse, Darren Johnson and Jeffrey de Graaf in particular have all enjoyed good runs as of late. This has brought them into the top 32 for the Pro Tour Order of Merit meaning a World Championship spot could be on the cards.
In terms of retaining Tour Cards, this is huge news for the trio and a good run at the Alexandra Palace could mean Q-School will not be in their plans.
Justin Pipe is in danger though of falling out of contention for the event. This is due to him likely exiting the World’s top 32. His Pro Tour ranking isn’t enough to get him in either so the Alexandra Palace might not feel the force.

- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
