Luke Littler’s heroics even have opponent cheering after historic nine-dart finish at Players’ Championship
LUKE LITTLER’S nine-darter exploits even had an opponent cheering during the Players’ Championship today.
Prodigy Littler, 17, exploded on to the darts scene at the World Championship.
And after reaching the final, he has gone from strength-to-strength by winning the Qatar Masters and becoming a regular on the Premier League stage.
Littler’s latest exploits saw him compete in the Players Championship.
And he put on an incredible show against Michele Turetta in the last 32, winning the game with a nine-dart finish.
However, Littler almost repeated the check-out in his next match against Cameron Menzies.
Going 4-0 up in legs, Littler then embarked on an incredible run as he hit eight darts in a row.
Even Menzies could not believe what he was seeing, raising his arms in excitement at the prospect of another nine-darter.
However, Littler missed the double 12 and failed to complete a second stunning finish.
But fans were blown away by Menzies’ reaction during the match.
