LONDON (Reuters) – Seventeen-year-old sensation Luke ‘The Nuke’ Littler blasted past Michael van Gerwen 7-3 on Friday to become the youngest ever PDC darts world champion and bank a 500,000 pound ($621,600) winner’s cheque.
The duel for the biggest prize on the board, in front of 3,200 rowdy fans in fancy dress, dashed Van Gerwen’s hopes of a fourth career crown in his seventh final at North London’s Alexandra Palace.
