Luke Humphries celebrates after victory over Luke Littler in the final of the Paddy Power World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace, January 3, 2024
IN THE end, Luke Humphries was almost too good. Needing to check out on 125 to win the 2024 World Darts Championship, he hit the centre of the bull twice.
So often a player requiring a bullseye for 50 will hit the outer bull, 25 ring, but when Humphries needed a 25 from his first two darts, he of course hit two 50s.
“Oh no! Luke Humphries was too good!” exclaimed commentator Dan Dawson.
