Young and Campbell close to securing PDC World Championship participation
PDCTuesday, 13 August 2019 at 11:30
After the latest weekend of CDC action, the race to the two World Championship spots available is close to being confirmed with Darin Young and Matt Campbell on the verge of qualification.
Young is of course very well known and has a big lead over Joe Huffman in second place with 82 points compared to the latter's 59. It will be a first appearance in 3 years at the Alexandra Palace with him just missing out every year since. He will likely join the North American Champion, Danny Baggish as the representation from the USA at the showpiece event.
Matt Campbell on the other hand strengthened his cause for the Canadian spot this past weekend by winning another CDC event. Campbell is similar to Young quite far away from Jim Long now; with 73 points compared to 48.
Despite not qualifying for the Las Vegas World Series events, he looked one of the best players in the qualifiers; so could be a serious danger at the Alexandra Palace if he does confirm his place.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
