Standings PDC UK Q-School Order of Merit Final Stage after Day One: Taylor leads as Perez, Hamilton and Sherrock all make good progress

The final stage of PDC UK Q-School is scheduled from Thursday 12 to Sunday 15 January. During this four-day event, players can earn Tour Cards for the PDC circuit. This can be done by winning one of the four tournaments or via the Q-School Order of Merit.

This ranking is a lifeline for players who just fell short of a day victory, but have consistently achieved good results over four days. The top nine players in this ranking after four match days will also receive a PDC Tour Card for the 2023-24 seasons.

Dom Taylor leads the way after the opening day with 'The Tower' in pole position with five points likely needing one more to seal his Tour Card. He lost the final to Arron Monk on Thursday.

But there has also been good progress for Asian Champion, Christian Perez on four points as well as Stephen Burton with Andy Hamilton, Fallon Sherrock, Graham Usher and Mark McGeeney all also on three points.

Followed by John Henderson, Nick Kenny, Scott Baker, Andy Boulton and Ryan Harrington, among others, with two points in the ranking.
