‘I want to own a Chinese restaurant’ says darts star Justin Hood after securing PDC Tour card with Q-School glory

JUSTIN HOOD won his PDC Tour Card to join the sport’s elite and admitted he just wants to buy a Chinese restaurant!

The 31-year-old defeated Bradley Brooks 6-5 in the final of the second day of UK Qualifying School in Milton Keynes.

It meant that ‘Happy Feet’ had secured a golden ticket place on the lucrative PDC tour for the first time in his career.

Hood, who has been a regular in the Modus Super Series in recent years, admitted: “I feel brilliant! It’s been a tough day, a lot of 6-5s.

“I haven’t played amazing today, but I did enough to get the wins so I’m over the moon.

“I’m good in last leg deciders. Win or you’re out.”

“It means a lot to be fair. I'm a lazy player, I could have done this three or four years ago if I was playing more, but I’d just rather not go out.

“But now, I’m going to put it all into it and be a world champion in three years!”

Hood also opened up on his dream plan after getting his Tour Card, adding: “I wanna earn enough money to buy a Chinese restaurant!”

He ranks in 146th in the PDC Order of Merit after winning £7,000 in prize money over the last two years.
