The Sports Lowdown For All Your News and Opinions2. Jeffrey De Graaf – Age 24
With the continuation of darts players defecting to the PDC from the BDO, the BDO juggernaut continues to reel off more talent and Jeffrey De Graaf is one of the up and coming talents on the circuit that could have quite a career whether that is in the BDO or with a kove across to the PDC.
De Graaf has an impressive amount of floor tournament wins already including triumphs at Belgium Open, the German Open and the Isle of Man Open and continues to rise up the rankings in the BDO and currently sits in 9th place and with a firm grip on another year at Lakeside in January.
With little TV exposure, De Graaf has struggled at Lakeside and has been knocked out at the first hurdle on each of his three visits to the iconic darting venue. However he had a breakthrough at the televised World Darts Trophy where he reached the final, showing he can play on the box and he will now go into the major tournaments expecting to be at the business end of tournaments.
