NUKE FIRES TITLE SHOT

Brilliant Littler sees off Cool Hand to win Prem title at the 02

- MIKE WALTERS

LUKE LITTLER dissolved into tears after decorating the Greenwich peninsula with a nine-dart leg and another slice of history.

On the meridian where east meets west, Luke the Nuke straddled the world and absconded into the Docklands sunset with £315,000, the best pocket money a 17-year-old phenomenon can win.

In front of a British record 14,000 audience in the Professional Darts Corporation era, he became the youngest winner of a TV major.

Just 141 days after their momentous World Championship final at Alexandra Palace, Littler and Luke Humphries served up another classic at London's O2 arena.

And Littler garnished his 11-7 triumph in the BetMGM Premier League play-off with a perfect leg.
