Luke Littler, 16, loses World Darts Championship final to end stunning run

Associated Press  

Luke Littler’s history-making run at the World Darts Championship ended Wednesday when the 16-year-old sensation was beaten 7-4 in the final by Luke Humphries. “Honestly, I was thinking in the back of my mind, ‘Get this one now’ because he’s going to dominate world darts soon,” Humphries said after lifting the trophy. I had to win this one tonight, but he’s going to win plenty, I’m sure.” As runner-up, Littler won 200,000 pounds in prize money and looks likely to contend for major titles for years to come after making history by becoming youngest finalist. Multiple champion Michael van Gerwen remains the youngest player to win the World Darts Championship after his victory in 2014 when he was 24.
