Glen Durrant excited for PDC future but admits: "I don't know where I'm at"

The triple BDO champion made the jump to the PDC on a dramatic final day at Q-School. Having been expected to make the switch with ease, Durrant was made to sweat over his future. A successful final day saw him home . After battling back from the brink to achieve his dream, the Teessider admits that the real work has yet to begin. "It is a month I will never forget. On January 1 I thought: this month could change my life," Durrant told . "I was in a lose-lose situation because, as a world champion, because expected me to go straight through on the first day. But I'm proud of showing resilience, and proud to be a professional darts player. "I was very happy in the BDO but people said: 'well done for your championship but how would you do against Michael van Gerwen?'"

Durrant revealed that a pep talk from his wife, and help from an unlikely fellow player, gave him the boost he needed to kick on at Q-School.
"I was down, and nearly out," Duzza admitted.
"I had a really good Friday night with the Brazilian player Diogo Portela. We had great fun! Then I woke up on Saturday morning with a message from my wife telling me to use some Teesside steel. I was in my comfort zone and, in the end, disappointed not to win outright.
"Diogo and I had a great laugh. He said: 'Glen you're the best player here. Go and win it'. I gained a friend in him."

Now Durrant is a PDC player, a UK Open debut is secured. The fight to reach other major tournaments, most notably December's World Championship, is about to start. Durrant starts from the bottom but is aiming for the top.
"I am looking at being in top 16 by the end of my two years. I'm not ready to beat Van Gerwen on a daily basis. Like the FA Cup, I might beat him in a one-off.
"I have beaten Dave Chisnall and Peter Wright in the Grand Slam. I'm trying to keep my feet on the ground and I haven't yet thought about the ramifications of being a PDC player.
Durrant admitted: "My honest assessment is that I don't know where I'm at."
