‘It is a cheat code,’ says Sky Sports commentator as fans go wild for Luke Littler tactic in World Championship final
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.
And finishing on double 10 was a winning formula for Littler as he hit it with incredibly regularity to clinch a host of legs.
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 said: "It's a cheat code for Luke Littler tonight, that double 10."

Another added: "Littler on the double 10 is a joke 😂😂😂😂😂😂."
A third replied: "Death, taxes and The Nuke checking out on a double 10."
