Luke Littler moved a step closer to a historic clean sweep of majors in one year with a 10-9 victory over Nathan Aspinall in Amsterdam. Littler, the 2024 champion, edged out Aspinall after taking the final two legs with a 12-dart break. Following the win, Littler acknowledged the challenge ahead, stating he was glad his streak remained alive but faced a tough test against Jonny Clayton.
