In a dead rubber realistically, Robbie Knops became the latest Belgian to join the PDC Tour sealing his spot outright on Day Four of PDC European Q-School.
Knops defeated Richard Veenstra 6-4 in the final with a 93 average and it was a dead rubber due to both players already sealing their spots through the Order of Merit. Of course Knops then dropped off but when the Quarter-Final line-up was set, the top 10 were also confirmed in Kalkar.
With Jacques Labre and Niels Zonneveld as well as Veenstra already sealing their Tour Cards, it meant Knops would seal his come what may alongside Owen Roelofs who faced a nervous wait but got over the line.
He joins Jeffrey Sparidaans, Corey Cadby and Jeffrey de Zwaan who all sealed theirs outright with the likes of Berry van Peer, Toni Alcinas, Max Hopp and Jelle Klaasen all missing out all together from Tour Cards.
