Raymond Smith's run at the PDC World Darts Championship this past year was well documented with 'The Guru' going through travel nightmares but in an incredible display, he reached the Last 16 where he lost to Mervyn King.
But in similar last gasp circumstances, he will make his way back to Ally Pally in December after winning the DPA Tour Finals defeating Joe Comito in the final.
In early June, Smith tweeted that he would not attempt to qualify for the World Series due to schedule changes and clashes which also ended his chances of qualifying for the World's and potentially giving Q-School a go.
But yesterday after realising he was eligible, he drove 14 hours to arrive just in time before going all the way. Superb from 'The Guru'.
🇦🇺⭐️ Raymond Smith has qualified for his 3rd PDC World Championship. After reaching the last 16 last year, 'The Guru' will return to 'Ally Pally' in december. A couple of days ago he wasn't even going to play in the DPA Tour Finals, and now he has won it 👏 (📸PDC)
