Luke Littler strengthened his position at the top of the Premier League table with victory on night eight in Newcastle.
The world champion, 18, defeated Stephen Bunting, Rob Cross and Luke Humphries on his way to a fourth success in the 2025 event.
Littler is eight points clear of second-placed Humphries and has 26 points at the halfway stage of the league phase – a tally that would have been good enough to secure a top-four finish and a place in the play-offs last year.
He won the first nine legs he played at Utilita Arena, thrashing Bunting 6-0 in his quarter-final before going 3-0 up against Cross on his way to a 6-3 semi-final victory.
Against world number one Humphries, the teenager raced into a 4-0 lead before completing a comfortable 6-1 win.
“It’s another week, more points on the board and another nightly win,” Littler told Sky Sports.
“Now I’m sitting even more comfortably at the top and there are loads of points ahead. I’m settled even more coming into the next weeks.”
