"If it wasn't for that, I don't think I'd have my Tour Card now. It stood me in good stead for when the last Challenge Tours were coming, I needed a miracle going into the last bit. I think I was 56th in the rankings," said Evans.
"I knew the game was there and my confidence was there from winning quite a few of the MODUS Leagues. It gave me a massive boost, not to mention the 5-0 walloping Fallon (Sherrock) gave me."
