Christian Kist won the 11th tournament of the PDC Challenge Tour on Friday. 'The Lipstick' also managed to throw a perfect leg during the tournament.
The former Lakeside champion qualified for the last sixteen of PDC Challenge Tour 11 by dealing with Wesley van Trijp (5-2), Robert Ellis-Brown (5-3), Reece Robinson (5-4) and Alexander Merkx (5-4). Then he faced Darren Armstrong in his fifth match of the tournament. With the score at 2-1 in Kist's favor, the Dutchman managed to throw a leg in nine darts via two 180s and a 141 finish. In the end, Kist won that match 5-2.
He then went on to defeat Bradley Brooks (5-1) and Cam Crabtree (5-0) convincingly to secure a spot in the final. In the final against Michael Unterbuchner, Kist took a 4-1 lead, but eventually won 5-4 thanks to a 12-darter in the deciding leg.
The Challenge Tour circuit is open to players who participated in the Q-School but did not win a Tour Card. On this tour, spots for the 2024 Pro Tour and Tour Cards for 2025 and 2026 can be earned.
The highest-ranked players on the PDC Challenge Tour Order of Merit qualify for the reserve spots at the Players Championship tournaments.
