Bradley Brooks sealed the PDC UK Development Tour on Sunday evening in a thrilling end to proceedings winning a straight shootout with Keelan Kay 5-1 in the final.
Brooks needed a good run in the final event with Nathan Rafferty on top after his Event 11 win and he survived ten match darts from Rhys Griffin before seeing off Keane Barry, one of his main rivals Dom Taylor and Jimmy Bristow before taking down Kay.
The reigning World Youth Champion will take his place in the field at the Alexandra Palace for the 2021/22 PDC World Darts Championship in just over a months time after playing last year.
He will also take home a two-year Tour Card if he fails to retain his with 'Bam Bam' currently sitting inside the top 80 but with his World Championship spot, he could yet retain it by right.
His Grand Slam spot though will go to Nathan Rafferty due to Brooks' World Youth title claiming him a spot through that route and he was the next placed player on the Order of Merit.

- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
- Covid or Vaccine victim?Mysstree03-11-2024
- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
- Not a Dobey fan at all but it’s bizarre that the winner of 3 Players Championship rounds does not qualify ahead of any runner up. The GSOD seems to be going the same way as footballs Champions League with a lot of non winners. The old football European Cup was a tournament of winners. GSOD should be for winners only and by tournament prestige and if it’s ranked. Not enough players or multiple event winners then add winners of the big invitationals such as the Premier League and WSOD.Mysstree02-11-2024
