Read our privacy policy Luke Littler says his love of the game is the reason behind his incredible rise as his progress in the UK Open continued. The former world champion was beaten 10-9 by Luke Woodhouse, who said: “Michael Smith is a Premier League player, he is one of the top players in the world so to win that I am chuffed. “I tried my best to stick with him, I thought if I could take it to the wire then who knows and luckily I could do it.” There are still some big names joining Littler in Saturday night’s last 16 with Gary Anderson and Rob Cross among those progressing.
