Luke Humphries airs complaint after beating Luke Littler as star forced into change
Luke Humphries admitted he was forced to adapt his playing style during Thursday night’s Premier League epic against rival Luke Littler. Cool Hand edged an 11-leg thriller during the Night 14 final in Leeds, but revealed after the win he had to battle the conditions inside the First Direct Arena.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the victory, Humphries explained: “There’s been a bit of a breeze up here tonight, I tried my best. In the final, I actually moved [his starting position] over to the left.” For the uninitiated darts fans that may seem like a minor change, but in a game where millimetres can prove the difference between glory and defeat, it was a bold move from the former world champion.
