QIANG WEI won Stage Seven of the PDC-affiliated circuit in China ahead of the Shanghai Darts Masters Qualifier, which saw Yuanjun Liu, Yanlai Shi, Jianhua Shen and Lihao Wen secure places in this weekend's PDC World Series of Darts event.
Thursday's Stage Seven was the final tournament on the China circuit ahead of the Shanghai Darts Masters Qualifier, with eight players progressing to play in Friday's knockout.

The 50-player tournament also saw Wei defeat Wei Chen, Jianfeng Lu, Hao Li and Jieyu Gao as he claimed the win.
Friday's 32-player Shanghai Darts Masters Qualifier featured eight players from each of Stages Four-Seven, with a quartet of players moving through to compete against some of the sport's biggest names in the World Series of Darts event.
Yuanjun Liu, who represented China in the Betway World Cup of Darts three weeks ago, defeated Hao Li, Stage Two winner Bin Ouyang and Wenqing Liu as he qualified.
