Bizarre: Darren Webster would've claimed PDC Tour Card had he skipped final day of Q-School 2024

For Darren Webster, the grapes were extra sour following the conclusion of Q-School. 'The Demolition Man' missed out on winning a Tour Card, as on leg difference, Adam Hunt edged past him at the last minute.

But the situation turned out to be even more awkward for the Englishman. Indeed, had Webster not competed in Sunday's final tournament, he would have won a Tour Card.

Here's the thing. Prior to the final day, Webster had scored five points with a leg balance of +14. On the final day, Webster won his preliminary round match 6-4 over Michael Flynn. But because it was a preliminary round match, the 55-year-old darter from Norwich did not receive an extra point for this. Then Webster lost 6-2 to Ted Evetts at the last 64. As a result, his leg balance thus went down four legs to +12.

Hunt eventually finished with a leg balance of +13 just above Webster. With an equal leg balance, the Tour Card would also have gone to Hunt, by the way, as he had more won legs to his name over the entire Q-School than Webster.
