In a dramatic Flanders Darts Trophy final, Luke Littler won the PDC European Tour for the fourth time, defeating Josh Rock 8-7.

After a strong debut from Northern Irishman Rock, the teenager slipped to 5-2, but won four legs in a row in Antwerp, Belgium, to take a 6-5 lead.

A final-leg decider was required, though, after Rock won two of the following three legs to equal 7-7.

Littler held on to earn the title with an 11-darter and a double 18 to seal the victory.

The 18-year-old said, “I think I love a last-leg decider” despite the fact that it may sound crazy since I’ve been playing darts.

“I back myself almost always, whether it’s with or against the darts, but I had to go out in 11th place.”

Littler has previously won two of the Belgian and Austrian darts open victories.
