LUKE LITTLER enjoyed a ride across sand dunes before winning his opener at the Bahrain Darts Masters.
The 17-year-old was back at the oche for the first time since winning the World Championship, beating Lourence Ilagan 6-3 tonight.

Littler got the win at the Bahrain’s International Circuit, which has been an F1 track since 2004.
The venue in the heart of the Sakhir desert has an off-roading experience on site, with The Nuke getting the VIP treatment.
He was taken around the track by a driver due to Littler not yet having a driving licence.
They climbed the sand dunes, went over huge steep inclines, through water and even bumped up a staircase in a Ford Bronco Big Bend.
The vehicle, which has a 2.3 litre V4 turbo engine and 275 horsepower, can cost as much as £70,000.
Cameras inside the car showed Littler all smiles in the passenger seat.
When he got out the car, the teenager said: “What an experience that was.”
Littler is used to life in the fast-lane and is eyeing up a Mercedes A-Class for around £30,000.
He has also revealed he is hoping to do driving lessons soon.
Littler has been loving life in Bahrain before the tournament got underway and he was hilariously presented with an early birthday gift by a giant cow at Buffalo Wings & Rings restaurant.
Joined by his family, the darts sensation looked stunned as ‘Happy Birthday’ played in the background and a man in fancy dress approached him with a cake ahead of his 18th on January 21.
Dad Anthony shared footage of the moment on social media alongside the caption: “Class night last night.”
After his victory over Ilagan, Littler faces Gerwyn Price next.
