(not sure exactly which post you're responding to) If you're referring to him coming out of nowhere - I'd say Queen is way more out of nowhere than Dickerson was. Queen joined the PDGA one year before Dickerson, started playing Open the same year Dickerson did. Dickerson, at the time of his first DGPT championship in 2018 had 15 A Tier wins and 29 cashes of over $1000. Queen had 1 A Tier win and 10 cashes over $1000 before yesterday.I think Dickerson (IIRC) made his way into the top this kinda way too. Of course, having to play 4 rounds has 4 more chances to be eliminated, but then again, if youre feeling it, you can potentially carry that momentum pretty far it seems.
At the time Barsby won Worlds he had 8 A Tier or higher wins, and 35 $1000+ cashes. So I'd say Queen is way more out of nowhere. Though Barsby did have about 15 years to accumulate his, so a very different situation.Biggest underdog victory as well imo. Only other one I can think of in a major tournament would be Greg Barsby's world championship.
