5️⃣0️⃣1️⃣ Marcel Walpen completes the first leg and will be the 501st player on the Euro Tour. 🇪🇺 Euro Tour games for Switzerland 10 🇨🇭 Stefan Bellmont 2* 🇨🇭 Thomas Junghans 1 🇨🇭 Marcel Walpen #EDGP23 I #Darts I #ET9
The first round of the European Darts Grand Prix was completed in Sindelfingen on Friday.
Marcel Walpen went down 6-3 against Keegan Brown in his opening match. This made the Swiss the 501st player to play a match on the European Tour.
Incidentally, Walpen is only the third Swiss to play a match on the European Tour. Stefan Bellmont (ten matches) and Thomas Junghans (two matches) preceded him.
He will also make his World Cup of Darts debut next month with Chris Murphy on commentary confirming prior murmurs that he will partner Bellmont in Frankfurt for Switzerland.
Walpen's European Tour debut came after he has dominated the Swiss Darts Corporation's tour in the past year until Bellmont's recent emergence to play the tournaments.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
