Soutar sets top 32 aim after first year on PDC Tour: "You have to set your target high"

Alan Soutar has been one of the standouts on his opening year of his PDC Tour Card and now heads into his first World Darts Championship looking to cement his ambitions.
Soutar took part in the PDC's Introducing series and discussed how he got into darts.
"My grandparents owned a pub in Scotland where I'm from in Arbroath so from very early age, probably six or seven years old. I've been playing darts my whole life," said Soutar.
He also spoke about juggling work and darts and when that gets to a point where he can't do both anymore.
"Playing in the PDC is the golden ticket as they call it. It pretty much is, maybe in a year's time we can sit down and assess after two years on the tour and see where we are but at the moment, I still need to work and play darts."
Achievements and ambitions
He also spoke about achievements so far which included a brilliant start to the year.
"I've done well in the first few ProTours, I beat quite a lot of World Champions. I've beat Barney a couple of times, I've beat Peter Wright. Those wins gives you confidence that you're good enough to be in the room."
As well as what is next with Ally Pally and the top 32 in his sights.
"To do well in that (PDC World Darts Championship) and as we move forward top 32 in the world. You have to set your target high and hopefully try to push on into the top 32."

- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
- Covid or Vaccine victim?Mysstree03-11-2024
- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
