Luke Littler once again stole the show in Bahrain. With a final victory and a nine-darter, the English teenage sensation was once again the celebrated man, after already drawing attention to himself at the beginning of January with a final place at the World Darts Championship.

With his victory over Michael van Gerwen in the final of the Bahrain Darts Masters, Littler became the youngest ever winner of a senior tournament at the PDC.
