Humphries wins in Hamilton – Luke Humphries was crowned champion of the New Zealand Darts Masters on Sunday. This was Luke’s first World Series title in his career, adding more to his already brilliant darting CV. Humphries started off playing against Kayden Milne from New Zealand and started how you’d expect. He raced into a 3-0 lead. In the third leg he took out 92, hitting two double 18s, after his first dart went in the 20. After this, Kayden did start to pick up a few legs but in the end Humphries was just too strong and closed out the game winning six legs to three. See match stats below.

Humphries wins in Hamilton – Quarter Finals
In the Quarter Finals, Luke came up against his World Cup team mate, Michael Smith. It was a tight start to the game as both players were evenly matched. It was Michael who had the first chance to break in the seventh leg, to make the game 4-3. However, he failed to do so, missing three darts at double. This let Humphries take out 52 to make the game 4-3. Smith and Humphries then held their throw, which put the game at 5-4 to Luke. Humphries doesn’t have the name “Cool Hand” for no reason! He cleaned up 76, hitting double tops with his last dart with Smith sat on 65 ready to make it 5-5. Humphries won the game 6-5 putting him into the Semi Finals. See match stats below.
