De Sousa recalls exhibition victory over Bristow in Spain: "He make a break, I make a break, 3-2 to me"

Jose de Sousa has now climbed into the top ten in the PDC Order of Merit but it has been a long road for the new star of PDC darts.
De Sousa discussed his route during the latest episode of the Autocomplete Challenge with the PDC.
"I play since 1994. It's about 26 years. I start with a couple of friends, we go to disco, party, fishing and a couple of things we do together and they said why don't you come Friday with us. There's a board over there, soft-tip and I say what is that," said De Sousa to PDC.
"The numbers I don't catch the numbers but the bullseye always since the first dart. After that, some tournaments, some people invite me and I become better and better and the darts goes with me since that day all over the world."
Exhibition win over Bristow
He also told the story of playing Eric Bristow who was over in his home of Spain at the time and suddenly winning.
"In 1998 in Spain. I win. It was an exhibition. In that moment, I was finished my tournament. I was in the hotel and the guy from Portugal they call me, you have to come to the venue. I go over there, there's soft-tip machine, a lot of cameras, a lot of people. So we start to play, he make a break, I make a break, 3-2 to me."
Miscounting
De Sousa is known for his poor math and he explained it's nothing to do with the numbers, more a concentration issue.
"My problem is not the numbers, it's my head sometimes. Sometimes I see a number and I think another number. I lost my concentration because I am so inside the game I forget some things."

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- 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

- 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
