Jeff Smith qualified through the first US Darts Masters and North American Championship qualifier on Tuesday night with 'The Silencer' in imperious form throughout defeating the likes of Matt Campbell and David Cameron in the latter stages.
Smith claimed victory in the 2018 North American Championship and he will be back to defend his title before taking part in the US Darts Masters.
He reacted afterwards and said how pleased he is to be involved in the field; he added that he showed his experience in the final which he won 4-3 against the impressive Campbell who reached the Quarter-Final in the second qualifier.
"It's phenomenal for me," said Smith. "I'm so pleased - my finishes were good and when it came the time to hit, I hit, so I'm happy.
"I showed a little bit of my experience in the final. I could see he tensed up a little bit at the end there, and it's all about exploiting the situation.
"I've been around a long time playing darts and you know when it's time to put the foot on the gas, and luckily I did that in the last leg."

- It’s a (as good as) gauranteed £25,000 for not a lot of effort.Mysstree28-11-2024
- Pathetic. The media attention she would receive at the PDC alone would more than compensate her for the quiet WDF comp. And if she wins a match, which she is more than capable of doing, the attention would go through the roof. I do not see the attraction of winning a tin pot comp over the massive PDC Worlds.medinabello28-11-2024
- I think with players above those mentioned in the rankings that haven't qualified for the Worlds in 2023 and haven't done so this year (players like Whitlock, King etc) they are guaranteed to stay in the top 64davetat18027-11-2024
- It is simply not true to say that these 5 players are guaranteed to keep their Tour Cards. At least Karel Sedlacek, Dylan Slavin and Stephen Burton are in danger of losing them, especially if they fail to win their first round match. Connor Scutt, Wesley Plaisier and the three mentioned players will be fighting hard for their Tour Cards.mxxiv27-11-2024
