Luke Humphries Inquires About the Humor in an Uncomfortable Encounter with Snooker Pro Shaun Murphy

DARTS star Luke Humphries found himself in a rather tense exchange with snooker icon Shaun Murphy after claiming that hitting a nine-darter is tougher than making a 147 maximum break.

Humphries and Murphy were featured among the athletes in Paddy Power’s Perfect Challenge.

Two darts athletes, two snooker players, and two golf competitors came together to settle a long-standing debate: which accomplishment is the hardest—making a hole-in-one, scoring a 147 break, or hitting a nine-darter?

According to current world darts champion Humphries, for a novice, achieving a 147 would be the most difficult feat.

However, he asserted that for a seasoned player, executing a nine-darter poses a greater challenge.

The world No. 1 stated: “If you give someone a set of darts, a snooker cue, and a golf club, I believe they’d land a hole-in-one most easily, followed by a nine-darter, and then the 147. That’s the hardest of all.”

“But a professional player knows all the angles in snooker.”

Murphy, a former world snooker champion, could be heard chuckling before he responded, “I had no idea you were a comedian. A 147 is harder than a nine-darter.”

Humphries replied, “What’s funny about that? Did you hear what I said? I noted that as a pro, understanding the angles makes it seem straightforward.”

“In terms of legs and frames, there are more people who manage 147s than those who hit nine-darters.”

Murphy then pointed out, “Well, that doesn’t imply it’s easier.”

The awkward exchange ended with Humphries quickly retorting, “I never said it was easier.”
