Last week, he won the Bahrain Masters, beating world No1 Michael van Gerwen in the final while he is now set to compete in Premier League Darts this year as a wildcard pick.

Durrant is expecting big things from the 17-year-old as he enters his first full season as a senior. Littler has shown maturity beyond his years every time he has stepped up to the darts board.

A lot has been made about Littler’s age in the media but Durrant has promised not to get caught up in that. “We’re witnessing something very, very special and I think we just have to enjoy it,” he told Sky Sports News. “I’ve promised myself not to talk about his age because he’s just generational. I couldn’t take the smile of my face watching him.

“To beat three of the top five in Bahrain is really special. I couldn’t take the smile off my face watching him. It’s incredible. What impresses me most, it’s not the nine-darters, I know he could do that.

“It’s not the big averages, I’ve seen him do that, it’s the level of maturity that he’s displaying. It’s an incredible story and absolutely beautiful for the game of darts.”

It was the most memorable moment of my career.”  Brought up in China’s southern Guangdong province, neighbouring Hong Kong, an 18-year-old Feng became the first Chinese player to earn an LPGA tour card in 2007.  The easy-going Feng went on to be the first Chinese player, man or woman, to win a major and lifted 10 LPGA titles during her 14 active years on the tour.  In 2017, Feng became the only Chinese golfer to date to reach the world No 1 ranking.  During a supremely consistent career, Feng registered 18 top-10 finishes in majors, two of them in 2021 even as she was winding down her playing commitments.
