Luke Littler: Teen wins first senior darts competition

16-year-old professional darts player Luke Littler has just claimed his first ever senior title.

The teen from Warrington in England beat three-time world champion Michael van Gerwen at the Bahrain Darts Masters in Asia on Friday.

"No-one probably believes me but I've not thrown a dart since the world final," he told ITV4 television following his record-beating success.

Luke shot to fame earlier this month after he became the youngest player ever to reach the final of the World Darts Championship (WDC).

On Friday, Luke shared his win on Instagram holding his Bahrain Darts Masters trophy.

Lots of people commented on his post congratulating the darts player.

Luke's favourite football team Manchester United commented "The first of many, champ".

Luke has been awarded £20,000 in prize money, which he can add to the £200,000 he won when he reached the final of the World Darts Championship earlier this month.

And he has a few more competitions ahead of him, including the Dutch Masters in Europe later this month.

"I've not really set any goals for this year - I didn't even expect to pick up this trophy," Littler said.

"I'm just going to have to see what my darts do."
