Hear from the newest PDC Tour Card holder, Jake Jones, who picked up his Tour Card on Day Three of UK Q School. A brilliant achievement for the man from Stoke!
Jones after claiming latest outright Tour Card at UK Q-School: "It's a dream come true"

Jake Jones is the latest outright Tour Card holder at 2021 PDC UK Q-School after seeing off Gordon Mathers in a 6-5 win and he will now step onto the PDC ProTour for the first time.
A former BDO title winner, Development Tour winner and England Youth star, the Stoke-on-Trent scaffolder has achieved his dream by winning through on Tuesday.
"It puts all the practice and all the hard work into perspective really," said Jones. "It's a dream come true, I can't really put it into words.
"All I thought before coming here was to qualify for the last four days and then it just takes one good day. Yesterday was probably a better day than today, I've won four games 6-5 and it's a rollercoaster to be honest.
"It's quite remarkable for myself. When I was younger, a lot of people said it was quite promising how I was playing, and I was England number one for three years when I was 14-17.
"It really is nice to come through, I've put a lot of effort into this tournament. I love my job but I feel like it's time now to play darts like I can, and we'll see in the coming years how we do."
