Luke Littler was invited to have a go at the world record in the Bulls-Eye Challenge. The record is in hands of Danny Lauby who set the world record at a massive 24. Let’s find out if Luke Littler can break this record.
In the Super Series, challenges are regularly created for the participants, resulting in interesting footage. Besides the Bulls-Eye Challenge, we’ve also seen challenges like Around the Clock with a timer, and recently, the players present were tasked with playing using the smallest dart arrows available.
However, as mentioned, it was now Luke Littler’s turn to see how many points he could score on the Bulls-Eye in one minute. He was expected to quickly surpass the score of Mikuru Suzuki, the player who, due to her soft-tip background, was thought to be good at scoring on the bull but fell short in her attempt.
Up until now, everything Luke Littler touched turned to gold, but Thursday night marked a change. He failed to win against Gerwyn Price during the Premier League night and was dissatisfied with his own performance. Although his average wasn’t disappointing, he missed opportunities to turn the match in his favor.
Towards the end of the match, the frustrations mounted for the 17-year-old, revealing a side of him we hadn’t seen before. Where everything had always gone smoothly, he now had to cope with a setback, and he didn’t handle it within the professional standards of the PDC.
He may soon be facing a fine due to the profanities that were visible on his lips. However, saving for the fine won’t be a problem for him, considering he has earned a substantial amount of prize money in the last few months.
