WARREN PARRY has secured the DPNZ Wildcard place in the Sydney Darts Masters after coming through the qualifying event in New Zealand.
Three-time Oceanic Masters winner Parry had previously secured a place in August's Perth Darts Masters event, having stood at the top of the DPNZ standings at the end of June.
After now winning the Sydney Darts Masters Play-Off in Christchurch, Parry will compete in back-to-back World Series of Darts tournaments when he takes part in the second Sydney Darts Masters from August 28-30.
Parry also qualified for last year's Sydney Darts Masters, pushing Paul Nicholson all the way before suffering a 6-4 defeat in the tournament.
He secured this year's place by coming through the eight-man Play-Off, firstly coming through Pool One with victories over Cody Harris and Monty Tuhua in the round-robin stage.
However, a defeat to World Cup of Darts representative Craig Caldwell in his final group game saw his opponent progress to the semi-finals unbeaten with a trio of victories.
Bernie Smith came through Pool Two with victories over Tony Carmichael, Mick Lacey and Rob Szabo, with Carmichael edging through to the semi-finals alongside him.
Parry and Caldwell, though, won their semi-finals with Smith and Carmichael by 6-3 scorelines, before Parry claimed revenge for his earlier defeat by winning the final 7-4 to secure his place in the Sydney Darts Masters.
Parry joins Australian World Cup of Darts representative Paul Nicholson as the first two of eight players to be confirmed who will be drawn against the eight PDC stars in the first round of the Sydney Darts Masters.
The top four players from the DPA Australian Grand Prix Order of Merit will also qualify, alongside two players who will win through the Qualifiers to be held on August 25 & 26.
