Rodriguez Trio Win Austrian Places

Rowby-John Rodriguez (Lawrence Lustig, PDC)

A TRIO of Rodriguez brothers were amongst the five Host Nation Qualifiers for the Austrian Darts Open on Thursday night, as Krzysztof Ratajski won through the East Europe Qualifier in Vienna.

The final places in this weekend's PDC European Tour event were confirmed at the Host Nation Qualifier and East Europe Qualifier.

The night was successful for three Rodriguez brothers, as former World Youth Championship finalist Rowby-John, elder brother Roxy-James and teenager Rusty-Jake all qualified - with the latter set to make his European Tour debut.

Zoran Lerchbacher and Christian Kallinger were the other two Austrian qualifiers, with Poland's Krzysztof Ratajski maintaining his ever-present record on the 2017 European Tour as the East Europe Qualifier.

In a double-header of East Europe Qualifiers, Ratajski also won a spot in next week's HappyBet European Darts Open in Leverkusen to continue his success this year.
