Luke Littler saw Peter Wright throw an 80 finish via two tops Thursday night and no doubt must have thought then that he could do better during the 16th round of play in the Premier League Darts in Sheffield.
In the third leg, Wright managed to take a 2-1 lead by throwing out 80 via double 20 twice. Littler then made it 2-2 with a 13-darter and then was on 120 in the fifth leg after four innings.
The usual route then is Shanghai 20, or triple 20, single 20 and double 20. 'The Nuke,' however, decided to prove that he could also throw a nice dart into the tops. With three well-aimed darts into the double 20, he pinned the open bed thrice.

Littler finally managed to win 6-4 over Peter Wright after his 120 finish, securing him the first spot in the Premier League Darts for good. 'The Nuke' did lose in his second match 6-5 to later week winner Michael Smith.

- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Nobody cares about averages, the only record he'll take from Phil and its meaningless. Winning tournaments is the only importance of darts and nobody will ever eclipse Phil in any meaningful way. What does an average pay or warrant any success, this proves that, yet people still bang on about them.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
