Dave Richardson, David Cameron, Chris White and Willard Bruguier were the four qualifiers ahead of the North American Championship and US Darts Masters

Wednesday's Qualifying Round-up


Dave Richardson and David Cameron won the final two Qualifiers in Las Vegas for the North American Championship and US Darts Masters.  

Canadian-born, California-based Chris White and South Dakota police officer Willard Bru uier had already confirmed their spots in the stage events at the Tropicana Las Vegas after picking up wins in the first two qualifying events.

Former world championship qualifier Richardson, who was born in Scotland but is based in Owen Sound, Canada, was the winner of Qualifier Three as he overcame Dawson Murschell in the final.

Then Nova Scotia's David Cameron secured his place by winning Qualifier Four with a 4-2 win over Chuck Puleo in their decider.

The four automatic qualifiers were joined in progressing to compete in the North American Championship and US Darts Masters by the top four players from the Qualifiers Order of Merit.

Canadian youngster Murschell will make his TV debut after qualifying, while Princeton-based Shawn Brenneman - a Las Vegas Desert Classic qualifier in 2008 - returns to the big stage after reaching one final and two semi-finals in the four Qualifiers.

Canada's Jayson Barlow and Ohio's Dennis Sayre were the other two players to progress from the Qualifiers' Order of Merit following their performances over the two days.

However, there was disappointment for three-time World Champion John Part, Canada's former Lakeside Championship finalist Jeff Smith and top American duo Darin Young and Larry Butler, who all missed out.

The eight players will now face off on Thursday in the $25,000 North American Championship, which will see the winner pocket a $10,000 top prize and a place in the William Hill World Darts Championship.

They will also return to the stage at the Tropicana Las Vegas on Friday to compete in the US Darts Masters against eight top stars in the PDC World Series of Darts event, which concludes on Saturday.

Tuesday's Qualifying Round-up


Chris and Willard Bruguier claimed their spots in the partypoker North American Championship and will feature at the partypoker U.S Darts Masters after winning through qualifying on Tuesday in Las Vegas.

Over 150 players entered the event all hoping to win the chance to meet the likes of Michael van Gerwen and Gary Anderson on the big stage this week in the World Series of Darts.

The eight Qualifiers from two days of knockouts at the Tropicana Hotel will also compete on Thursday in the North American Championship, where the winner will secure a spot in the William Hill World Darts Championship.White began the day by claiming his spot in the main event beating Dennis Sayre 4-3 in the final.

The 45-year-old, who is based in California and nicknamed "Great White Shark", previously qualified for the 2009 Las Vegas Desert Classic (pictured) and also competed in the 2017 PDC Qualifying School.

South Dakota's Bruguier then joined his compatriot sealing a 4-0 whitewash over Shawn Brenneman and will have the opportunity to face the world's best players on Friday.

The 35-year-old police officer will make his TV debut in Thursday's North American Championship, although he has previously competed in the World Masters event and on the Soft-Tip circuit.

Qualifiers Three and Four take place on Wednesday, with the two winners claiming automatic qualification alongside the top four players from the Qualifiers Order of Merit
