Archie Self produced a remarkable moment at the MODUS Super Series on Wednesday, becoming the youngest player to hit a televised nine-dart finish. The 16-year-old Englishman achieved the feat during Champions Week, impressing everyone on stage.
Self had come close to a perfect leg several times over the previous two weeks, but had always fallen short of the decisive darts. On Wednesday, the young Englishman finally landed all nine darts in the required trebles and doubles.
The MODUS Super Series organisers were also delighted by Self’s achievement. They celebrated the nine-darter at length on social media: “he 16 year old has threatened the 9 on multiple occasions in the last 2 weeks but he has finally hit it!!”
Commentator Paul Nicholson was also full of praise for the achievement: "He’s doing things that even Littler didn’t, Ludicrous"
