Luke Littler gave himself an early birthday present by beating Michael van Gerwen 8-5 to win the inaugural Saudi Arabia Masters.

The two-time world champion turns 19 on Wednesday and his celebrations began at Riyadh’s Global Theater before heading off for a Dubai break.

“It didn’t work out last week in Bahrain, but I’m really glad to come over to Saudi Arabia for the first time and be the first winner,” Littler told ITV4.
