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."

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
