The 9-darter crystalism on the Players Championship doesn’t want to stop. The perfect leg succeeds in Leicester twice. Luke Humphries plays one of them and narrowly missed the title.
Again 9-Darter madness in Leicester! Luke Humphries and Alan Soutar get the perfect leg on the Players Championship 6.
Humphries, number 1 in the world, scored the rare feat in the 6: 3 victory in the first round against Andy Boulton. At 177, 180 and at the end 144 points, the Englishman brought 501 points to zero in nine darts.
Luke Humphries succeeded in Leicester on the 9-Darter
Alan Soutar played the 9-Darter via the classic path (180, 180, 141), but still lost 5: 6. His opponent: Luke Littler of all people.
Already the fourth 9-darter in two days
Because: The world champion had also thrown a 9-darter the day before and ended up stormed under the last four with personal record in the quarter-finals.
In the end, Gian van Veen secured the title. For the Dutchman, who defeated Humphries 8: 3 in the final, it was the first tournament victory as a PDC professional.
