‘Rapid’ produced the moment of magic to wrap up a 6-4 victory over Justin Pipe before he went on to secure his place in the competition with a 6-2 success over John Goldie in the final round of the UK Qualifier for the PDC European Tour event.

Evans had earlier missed out on a place in the European Darts Open when he was beaten 6-4 by Andrew Gilding in the early stages of that qualifier.
