Littler won his fourth title on the Euro Tour

According to The Sun: Luke Littler won his fourth title on the European Tour just 72 hours after urgent dental treatment.

This young talent defeated Josh Rock in an exciting final match with a score of 8-7, claiming the Flanders Trophy in Antwerp.

Despite being only 18 years old, Littler narrowly avoided missing this event due to the surgery that took place on Friday morning. However, he displayed a high level of play, earning £30,000 and his third victory in Belgium in two years.

Rock made the match reach the deciding leg, impressing everyone by finishing the game with a score of 161. But 'Newk' once again showed his skills under pressure.

“I think I started well.

“When Josh hit 161, it didn't feel good!

“But I knew I had to break him and win the game.

“I always enjoy deciding legs.

“I always believe in myself, whether I'm playing against someone or with them.”

High level of play

The final match was another thrilling clash between two rivals who met in the semi-finals of the World Championship last month. Back then, Littler also surprised the crowd by achieving the first-ever perfect leg with nine darts.

In this match, Littler initially fell behind, but he managed to win four legs in a row, achieving a score of 6-5 in his favor. Rock tried to fight back, but ultimately Littler posted an average of 107.40 and an impressive final leg in 11 darts, ending the game with a score of 96.

Rock received £12,000 and noted: “He is not officially the number one in the world yet, but he will be soon. He is a world champion and knows how to win.”

Littler underwent emergency surgery on Friday morning.

Littler's victory highlights not only his talent but also the courage of a young athlete who managed to overcome adversities to achieve success. It is another step towards future achievements, and spectators eagerly anticipate more victories from this talented dart player.
