PDC
Robert Owen is the first winner of the weekend in Leicester sealing Event 16 of this year's PDC Challenge Tour and moving into contention for the Tour Card and World Championship spots as a result.
Owen has been in good form this season while not winning a title losing in Event One and Event 13 finals to forerunners Scott Williams and Jurjen van der Velde.
It was an experienced last section with Matthew Dennant losing to Owen as well as Robert Thornton and finally Christian Kist with Adrian Gray, Mark McGeeney, Prakash Jiwa and John Bowles also getting to the latter stages.
Players can earn reserve spots for the Pro Tour 2022 and Tour Cards for 2023 and 2024 on the Challenge Tour. The highest ranked players on the PDC Challenge Tour Order of Merit are eligible for the reserve spots at the Players Championships.
The top two on the Challenge Tour ranking at the end of the season are offered a PDC Tour Card for the following two seasons. In addition, they are also allowed to participate in the PDC World Darts Championship.

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024
- Was a great match and am a fan of Scott, don't see much of him on TV. How the hell is Cross 5 in the world, he goes out almost immediately in every competition.richieburnettrocks24-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
