Does anybody know if he is playing in the youth tour that gives automatic entry into the pro events??

Superb win for John Part in today's players championship beating Mark Walsh 6-0 in the final. Good to see Part back to winning ways after a few lean years.

I don't think so. I'm sure he went to the PDC qualifying school event and failed to qualify from that so I presumed that was him ineligible to play in the players championship tournaments but obviously there's some other way he can enter these tournaments?

The way I understand it is that they go down the q-school ranking table to take any entries not filled by those with a tour card.

He probably got in that way.

Dicie will probably explain it better as he was at the q-school.

He gets in from the youth tour

Day 2 of the UK Open qualifiers under way in Barnsley and Willie O'Connor was pipped 6-5 by Wes Newton in the 2nd round. Willie has been unlucky in several tournaments lately on the wrong side of games going the distance. Still £200 earned today to add to the £400 earned yesterday has him well placed to qualify for Bolton.

Brendan Dolan and Shane O'Connor are the Irish players left in the tournament.waiting to play their 2nd round games.
