Florian Hempel from Cologne enjoyed a dream day at the PDC European Q School 2021 and won a Tour Card for the first time in his short career.
The 30 year old German averaged 94+ over the course of his seven matches and defeated the likes of Lukas Wenig, Martin Schindler and John Michael on his way to victory.
