The Austrian Darts Open: Luke Littler Emerges Victorious in Graz
Last weekend, the fifth tournament of the European Tour campaign unfolded in Graz, Austria. In a thrilling final, Luke Littler proved too strong for Joe Cullen, emerging victorious with an 8-4 triumph.
Officiating the event was referee Kirk Bevins, known as ‘The Kirkulator.’ Bevins, however, experienced an unsavory incident with a fan while posing for a photograph. He took to social media to address the matter, stating,
“To the Austrian darts ‘fan’ who grabbed me and pulled me away from her mate having a photo with me and Huw Ware when he asked us both for a photo…just because I wasn’t in my PDC uniform and you didn’t know who I was…it was NOT OK to grab me and pull me away.”
The Darts enthusiast community was quick to rally behind Bevins, condemning the fan’s behavior and emphasizing the importance of respecting officials and players alike. This incident serves as a reminder of the need for sportsmanship and consideration within the sport of Darts, even as the competition on the oche remains fiercely contested.
The victory for Luke Littler at the Austrian Darts Open marks a significant achievement in his burgeoning career, and the Darts world eagerly awaits his next performance as the European Tour campaign continues to captivate fans across the continent.
