Josh Rock becomes fifth player to reach PDC World Youth Championship Final in debut year
PDCTuesday, 11 October 2022 at 11:00
Josh Rock has been imperious on the Development Tour this season after his brilliant first year on the ProTour and this has been bookended by reaching the final of the PDC World Youth Championship.
There Rock will play Nathan Girvan at the Players Championship Finals which he will already play due to the ProTour but he becomes the fifth player to reach the final on debut of the World Youth.
Some have had mixed success with James Hubbard back in 2012 being a perfect example of a player who didn't kick on.
Nathan Aspinall in 2015 became a major champion and recently was a major finalist, while Corey Cadby reached the final of the UK Open after emerging in 2016 but had to relinquish his Tour Card and has tried to make comebacks since to no avail.
Adam Gawlas was the most recent example in 2019 with the Czech ace currently on the tour but not having the success of for example Rock.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- 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
