Darts commentator Rodd Studd slammed Luke Littler for his ‘petulant’ act during his Players Championship semi-final clash with Alan Soutar. Littler had gotten off to a torrid start against the Scot, losing the first two legs.
But a spirited comeback brought him within touching distance of equalling the scores in the tenth set. Littler needed 25 to win it and hit five with his first dart so a double ten was required.
However, his second dart sailed wide of his intended target and landed on 15. Venting his frustrations, a livid Littler then aimlessly chucked his third and missed the board entirely throwing away the opportunity to bust.
“Tell you what, well, that’s petulant,” said Studd. “Now he’s left himself five, with a bit more care and attention he could’ve bust if that’s what he wanted to do, or left himself a double. He’s done neither of those things and that was silly.
