LUKE LITTLER’S double 10 checkout was labelled a “cheat code” during his World Darts Championship final triumph.

 

The 17-year-old sensation stormed to his first world title on Friday night with an emphatic 7-3 victory over three-time champion Michael van Gerwen.

 

The Warrington wonderkid has made the double his own over the last 12 months and is known to use it to checkout.

 

Yet his brilliance on the segment still left some in awe during his comprehensive victory over Van Gerwen.

 

And commentator Dan Dawson, who witnessed Littler hit an impressive 55 per cent of his doubles, said: “It’s a cheat code for Luke Littler tonight, that double 10.”
