James Wade hands Luke Littler first round exit at Players Championship 4
PDCTuesday, 20 February 2024 at 14:38
James Wade has started the fourth Players Championship tournament of the year with a victory over the teenage sensation, Luke Littler.
Wade raced into an early 4-1 lead against a surprisingly under-par Littler. The World Darts Championship finalist soon clicked into gear however and forced a deciding leg. In that decider though it was experience who prevailed with Wade booking his place in round 2.
Elsewhere in the early results, Jitse van der Wal caused a surprise by eliminating Masters champion Stephen Bunting. It was 6-3 for the new Dutch Tour Card holder. Gian van Veen recorded a big 6-1 victory over Jeffrey de Graaf, while Maik Kuivenhoven won 6-3 over Daryl Gurney.
Dimitri van den Bergh sidelined former world champion Steve Beaton 6-4, while Mario Vandenbogaerde took a 6-4 win against Jose de Sousa. Kim Huybrechts lost 6-2 to Ryan Joyce, while a 109.23 average from Mike de Decker proved insufficient for a win over Steve Lennon. The Irishman won the encounter 6-4 thanks to an average of 110.83 per turn.

- 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
