Jose de Sousa claimed his maiden major title on Tuesday night at the Grand Slam of Darts after a 16-12 victory over James Wade.
It continues the rapid rise for ‘The Special One’ who will now enter the top 16 as a result of this victory. De Sousa spoke afterwards and admitted he was pretty overwhelmed which was seen on stage when he pinned the winning double.
"This is a dream come true, I can't explain my feelings in this moment," said an overwhelmed De Sousa.
"This is the greatest day of my life. When I hit the 158 finish I knew I was going to cry straight away.
"There is so much work behind me to get to this position. I am so thankful to everyone.
"Five years ago I was on my sofa at home watching the guys play on TV and I wished that maybe some day I can play against these wonderful players.
"It was a big change I made to my life in turning professional but look at me now. It's amazing and I'm very proud of myself."

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
