Gino Vos

Vos first came to prominence as an 18-year-old in the 2008 Czech Open, getting to the final before losing to Dave Prins 6–4. His next major success came in the 2009 World Masters as a 19-year-old. He defeated such players as Ross Smith in the last 72, before knocking out the then-BDO World Champion Ted Hankey by 3 sets to 1 in the last 16. His run came to an end, however, as he was beaten 3–1 by eventual winner Martin Adams in the quarter-finals.

Vos has also played in European events on the PDC Pro Tour. His best result came in the 2011 PDC Youth Tour Event at Nuland, Netherlands on 18 June 2011 as he beat fellow countryman Michael van Gerwen 4–0 in the semi-finals before losing 4–2 to Joe Cullen.[http://www.pdc.tv/page/NewsdeskDetail/0,,10180~2378500,00.html Cullen Claims Youth Double] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121010025033/http://www.pdc.tv/page/NewsdeskDetail/0,,10180~2378500,00.html |date=10 October 2012 }} PDC.tv
