Robbie Knops has qualified for his Tour Card through Q-School and it could've been a completely different outcome for the Belgian if he hadn't of listened to the advice from his girlfriend.

The final day was a very successful one for the 40 year old as he got all the way to the final and beat Richard Veenstra. After a tense week at Q-School it looked like a difficult task for Knops to get himself a Tour Card as he started the final day in 29th position in the Order of Merit, so much so he said in a post match interview with the PDC that he was contemplating going home.
