American hero Jason Brandon shattered Stephen Bunting and is chasing down a dream date at the Ally Pally. The 50-year-old produced the biggest performance of his career to batter The Bullet in the US Darts Masters at Madison Square Gardens in front of a joyous New York crowd. Brandon won 6-4 over Bunting with the Tennessee slinger earning redemption for his loss to Rob Cross on the stage two years ago. But, as well as success in the States, he also has eyes on another iconic venue in London and a place alongside the likes of defending champion Luke Littler in this year鈥檚 expanded Paddy Power World Championship. PDC expansions of the event have opened more doors for the likes of Brandon with five places available to US-based stars for Ally Pally. Brandon also has a shot of making the Lakeside World Championship, but has no hesitation in nominating which English Capital venue he鈥檇 like to be heading at Christmas as he said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 bad to say, but I 100 per cent have to pick Ally Pally. It鈥檚 just that鈥檚 since I started and I found out about all this stuff, that鈥檚 been a dream of mine to play. Obviously, Lakeside is awesome and I would love to get back there and have another chance. But if I was to qualify for Ally Pally, I would absolutely have to take that spot. 鈥淲e have all kinds of opportunities now and with the additional spots since they鈥檝e expanded the PDC, those other spots now that鈥檚 available to get, there鈥檚 other avenues, not just open for one or two positions. We鈥檝e got like five spots we can get now. That鈥檚 awesome. I hope it gets more from there. I hope it expands even further, but we鈥檒l see how it goes. 鈥淚鈥檓 hoping I don鈥檛 mess myself up out of any of the spots. I tried to do that a few years ago, tried to play both and try to keep my options open to play CDC and WDF. Hopefully I have a shot at PDC and I messed myself up out of both of them. Right now I鈥檓 still in a good spot for Lakeside. I still can make the CDC stuff and we鈥檒l see how it goes.鈥 Brandon is thrilled to have the New York opportunity and said: 鈥淚鈥檝e got to admit, I really wasn鈥檛 expecting to make it back this year. I only had the one chance left in the qualifier and I played the best starts I played all day. I was fortunate enough to get through the qualifier to make it back up here. 鈥淚t鈥檚 unreal that darts is the way is coming up here now in the US. To be able to play at such an iconic stage, it鈥檚 amazing. It鈥檚 great. It鈥檚 awesome.鈥 He displayed his talents with the Bunting success which has earned a last-eight crack at Damon Heta and said: 鈥淭hat鈥檚 my biggest win. I鈥檓 struggling to find the words. My goal was to come up here and get a little bit of redemption for two years ago. I don鈥檛 know how I held it together but I was able to focus. I鈥檓 feeling way better about my darts now than I was coming into the event. I鈥檓 ready for Saturday.鈥
