LUKE LITTLER roared past 100 Premier League maximums in just eight weeks amid another landmark night.
And the world champion, 18, did it in double quick time, in more ways than one.

The Nuke reached his century of 180s twice as fast as any of his seven Prem rivals.
And the Manchester United fan did it after being booed as he walked out at Newcastle’s Utilita Arena for his opener against Stephen Bunting.
Littler responded by pointing his finger to his ear.
And he also had the backing of Magpies hero Dan Burn, who sung and danced along to the Warrington whizkid’s walk-on tune at the start of Night Eight.
Litter had begun the evening on 92 maximums from the first seven nights – compared to 44 for Luke Humphries and 39 for third-placed Michael van Gerwen.
And he made it to 100 with Humphries still way behind on 45, with MVG on 43.
In fact, the Nuke bagged a maximum with his very first visit to the oche at Newcastle.
His response to the crowd – looking to the side and nodding his head – was almost as lethal

The teen hero went on to to complete a 6-0 destruction of Bunting.
The Nuke averaged around 110 in that match, checking out with a brilliant 110 too.
And he notched five 180s against battered Bunting – to reach 97.
Then came another Englishman in Rob Cross at the semi-final stage.
Cross blew finishes in the first two legs before Littler raced 3-0 up and finally bagged his first maximum of the match.
But Voltage, 34, checked out on 84 to deservedly get off the mark befoee Littler made it 4-1.
Two 180s in quick succession then took the Nuke to his magical ton.
And he almost clinched victory with a Big Fish – hitting the green circle – but soon wrapped up a 6-3 success.
One fan responded to Littler’s ton-up night by saying: “The guys in another league. That’s crazy and surely will get 180 180s in the premier league.”
Another viewer wrote: “That will be a stunning stat the moment he reaches 180! I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes past 200.”
And a third posted: “Madness that , mad he wont get half of Taylor’s world titles but stats wise prob be best ever.”
