Defending champion Luke Littler cruises past David Davies as Gerwyn Price exits

Luke Littler cruised through to the third round of the PDC World Championship as his path to glory opened up after Gerwyn Price’s shock exit.

Littler is the favourite to defend his historic title at Alexandra Palace and gave no reason to suggest it will not happen after brushing past Welshman David Davies 3-0.

The 18-year-old was nowhere near his imperious best but did not need to be as he extended his winning streak to 15 senior matches, going back to October 25th.

“I was getting away with it, he missed 16 darts at double, but every one he missed was crucial, if he hit them it was a completely different game,” Littler said on stage.

COMFORTABLE FOR LITTLER!

After a nervy opening set, Luke Littler gets the job done to wrap up a 3-0 victory and reach Round Three.
