Rob Cross (born 21 September 1990) is an English professional darts player who plays in Professional Darts Corporation events.

Career

Cross competed in the 2016 UK Open as an amateur Riley qualifier; making it to the last 32 before falling to world number one Michael van Gerwen, who achieved a nine-dart finish in the process.[2][3] Following this, he competed in the PDC Challenge Tour; winning 3 of the 16 events and ultimately topping the Order of Merit, consequently earning a Tour Card for the 2017 PDC Pro Tour.[4][5]

At the 2017 UK Open, Cross reached the fifth round before being knocked out by eventual winner Peter Wright.[6] The following week, he won his first PDC title by defeating Mervyn King 6–5 in the final of the third Players Championship.[7] His superb first year on the tour continued as he won the 12th event with a 6–5 victory over Ian White, who missed five darts for the title.[8]

Personal life

Cross was an electrician before turning professional.[8]
