Corey Cadby has earned a return to the PDC Tour by starring throughout day two of European Q-School on Friday.
The Australian had emerged as one of the most talented players in the world during his early twenties, reaching the finals of the Auckland Darts Masters and UK Open in 2017 and 2018 respectively.
However, issues away from the oche saw Cadby drop off the scene, and he has been without a Tour Card since the beginning of 2020.
Now 27 years of age, Cadby is now back on the tour after winning seven matches on Friday, averaging in excess of 100 on three separate occasions.
Cadby rode his luck in the semi-finals, only edging out Pascal Rupprecht with his 12th match dart, and he came back from 2-0 down to defeat Karel Sedlack 6-3 in the final, finishing with 13, 14 and 14 darters.
CADBY REIGNS SUPREME IN KALKAR! 🇦🇺

Meanwhile, Graham Usher has earned his Tour Card by coming through the UK tournament, battling back from the brink in his final with Adam Warner.
Usher was 5-3 down before he reeled off 17, 14 and 15 dart legs to secure his spot on the tour for the next two years.
That 6-5 triumph represented the first time that the Scarborough thrower had been taken to a deciding leg throughout Friday's play.
Warner sits at the top of the Order Of Merit standings with two days remaining, but Fallon Sherrock is down to 18th in those listings after a first-round exit on Friday.
