PDC Qualifying School: Three-time world champion John Part through to final stage alongside John Henderson

Your Site Darts' John Part is through to the final stage of the PDC qualifying school.

The three-time world champion is still within a shot of returning to the Pro Tour after a six-year absence, reaching phase two of Q-School via the order of merit.

It came from a run into the last 32 in Wednesday's action which marked the end of the first stage and now the final stage will begin, where tour cards will be awarded from January 8 to 11.

Part first lost his tour card in 2017, regained it, and then lost it once again in 2019.

'Darth Maple' picked up wins against Alexander Elia, James Waite, and Darren McMahon, before losing to Ultan McDyer in the last 32.

Other notable names through to the final stage include World Cup winner John Henderson and former Lakeside champion Scott Mitchell.

The last 16 players from each day of first stage qualified automatically for final stage, while the remaining places in final stage - featuring 128 players at each venue - were decided from a ranking list, with one point being awarded per win.

UK Qualifying School takes place at Arena MK in Milton Keynes, while Wunderland Kalkar in Germany hosts European qualifying school.
