Luke Humphries he stoked the fire during the Perfect Challenge about what’s easier than hitting nine darts, 147 and a hole-in-one, and showed he may have untapped skills on the snooker table.
Humphries finished the Paddy Power Perfect Challenge broadcast, which was won by Shaun Murphy as he was the only one to score 147. However, he soon embarrassed himself on the dial.
Claiming to be the only athlete to achieve all three feats, he hit a tire and missed a dart board. Humphries himself decided to take a long shot on the snooker table and scored just after the broadcast ended.
This came after the duo exchanged information on what was the hardest during the challenge. In comparison, Humphries and Van Gerwen were nowhere near their feat, and neither were the golfers.
“I think if you’re an amateur who hasn’t played snooker, golf or darts, you give them a set of darts, a snooker cue and a golf club, I think they would do it first a hole-in-one, second with nine darts, and finally 147 ” Humphries said.
“I think it would be more difficult. But for a professional, I think nine is harder than 147. You’ve seen them (Murphy and Williams), they know all the angles…”
Murphy, the 2005 world champion, started laughing and said, “I didn’t know you were a comedian.” Humphries didn’t see the funny side, saying, “What’s so funny about it? But did you hear what I said?
“When, in my opinion, you know all the angles and you have your own, when you know all the angles (147 is easier),” Humphries continued. “You see Mark has come close twice now.
“That’s what I mean. I think when you’re a professional and you’re really good at snooker, playing 147 seems easy.
