Curtis : “Now that I’m top 30, it opens me up to be able to play in all of the Platinum events this season, which it didn’t previously for me. I’d say 80% of my tournaments throughout the coming season will be made up of Platinum events and Golds, with a few Copper events in there as well.
“Hopefully, I can therefore play a few more matches back-to-back and win a few smaller titles as well.
“It’s not always easy [when the whole family are playing at an event]. You’re really invested in four other players as well as your own performances. Especially, this week for example. Managing my time well is important – putting some time into them but equally my own time to focus on my own preparation.”
