64-year-old driver of Rob Cross among others goes hunting for PDC Tour Card himself

In Milton Keynes, the final phase of the UK Q-School will continue until Sunday. One of the players hunting for a PDC Tour Card there is Jim Walker.
Walker is not just anyone; the 64-year-old darter recently became the personal driver of Rob Cross, John O'Shea, Scott Williams and Josh Rock. "I’m feeling fantastic. I don’t know how it’s happened because I’ve just started a new job with Rab.," Walker said.
The Englishman wants to capture a Tour Card himself this week, in order to compete against these players for the next two years. "I wasn’t expecting this opportunity. It was Rab who said go along and give it a go and I’m here. I would like to think I’d be beating them. But they are class. I’ll just do my bit, I’m here for myself. I’ll do everything I can."
Walker is no stranger to darts, in the past he has captured a Tour Card several times. “I’m one of these players that always thinks if I lose I go out, if I win I keep going. I’m an optimist. I love it. Listen it’s the sport you love, if you are good enough you get paid to do something you love. The prizes for the top boys are unbelievable."
“You cannot work 40 hours a week and earn what they can earn. Just amazing. I just sat with three young lads and realised that I’m older than the three of them put together! Look at it, 128 players vying for a few spots, can’t beat it can you?”
Whether Walker succeeds is pretty doubtful, after all, after two days he still counts zero points in the Q-School Order of Merit.
