Overview

• Littler took control in high-pressure moments, winning the first four sets and the seventh in deciders under the tournament’s format.
• He came within a dart of a nine-darter, missing the bull after eight perfect darts at the start of the third set.
• Despite the heavy defeat, Humphries recorded a higher three-dart average, 93.61 to Littler’s 92.15.
• The champion earned £120,000 and the runner-up £60,000, tightening the gap at the top of the PDC Order of Merit.
• The final used the World Grand Prix’s double-in, double-out, best-of-11-sets format, and Littler is also entered in Players Championship events in Wigan as he seeks to improve a Players Championship Order of Merit standing currently outside the top 64.
