Former Lakeside world champion Jelle Klaasen is back on the PDC Tour after winning his Tour Card on day two of Q-School.
Klaasen spent 10 years on the tour before losing his card in 2021, and he has since competed on the WDF Tour.
However, the 39-year-old is now back among the sport's elite after hitting an 11-darter in the deciding leg of the final against Benjamin Drue Reus.
That was one of three matches that Klaasen won having been taken the distance, including his semi-final contest with Jules van Dongen.
Defeating Jeffrey De Graaf, who recently reached the last 32 of the PDC World Championship, kicked things off for Klaasen, while he saved an average of 97.09 - his best of the day - for the final.

Meanwhile, Robert Grundy has earned a tour card for the first time after producing some blistering displays in Milton Keynes on Friday.
Grundy defeated a selection of high-profile names, including James Wilson, Fallon Sherrock and James Hurrell, before taking his displays to a new level in the semi-final and final.
An average of 102.48 was posted in dispatching American Danny Lauby by a 6-0 scoreline, and he then saw off Dom Taylor 6-2 with a 105.25 average in the showpiece match.
