Luke Littler continued the electric start to his career on Sunday night, lifting the title at the 2024
Austrian Darts Open. 'The Nuke' saw off
Joe Cullen 8-4 in the final.
For Littler it is already the second tournament victory this year on the
European Tour, previously he also won the Belgian Darts Open. "I'm just happy to get over the line again" said Littler, who was allowed to don the traditional green jacket after the final, akin to Golf's Masters. "It didn't happen in Sindelfingen but I've come here and I've put myself right and won another one."
Littler posted an average of 102.71 in the final, which proved to be way too good for Cullen, who failed to reach the heights with the title on the line, averaging just 85.54. "We started off really well but I think I stuck at it and Joe started to fall off, and I got over the line," Littler assesses of his and Cullen's performances in the final.
"This weekend has been good," the 17-year-old sensation concluded. "My darts have been good and these guys [the crowd] have helped me so much."
