Luke Littler was happy to record a victory in his World Series of Darts debut at the Bahrain Darts Masters on Thursday night. After trailing 0-2, the teenage sensation managed to win 6-3 over Man Lok Leung.
The 16-year-old Englishman's scoring was rock solid, but he had a lot of trouble finding the doubles. Afterwards, Littler said he was itching to return to action after taking a short family holiday following his sensational World Darts Championship performances.
"I couldn't wait - I didn't want to practice, I just wanted to play the game," said Littler to the PDC. "I just want to get on the stage and perform and I'm happy to get over the line. I've always said that it takes a leg or two to get into the game and you could see it did, but I got the next five legs."
According to Littler, it was also due to a lack of match rhythm. ''I've not played a proper game since the World Championship final, but I fight to the end and once I got a leg or two I was in. A big finish always helps and I'm glad I got into the game and got over the line."

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
