Wayne Jones wanders back on to the big stage
Wayne Jones is back with the likes of Michael van Gerwen, Gary Anderson and Adrian Lewis in the darting big time after finishing top of the Challenge Tour rankings at the weekend, writes Craig Birch.
The Wanderer was in pole position ahead of runner-up Mark Dudbridge, who also claimed a two-year PDC Pro Tour card.
The thrower from Wednesfield finished on a high, too, with a run to the final of one of two tournaments on Saturday and a third Challenge Tour title of the year on Sunday.
Stourbridge’s Nick Fullwell picked up his second Challenge Tour title on Saturday, too, to finish 13th in the rankings with £3,350 earned in prize money.
A total of £200,000 has been paid out to players on the Challenge Tour in 2017 and Jones has helped himself to £10,300 of it.
