Two darts competitors, two snooker champions, and two golf players faced off to resolve a longstanding debate: which is the most difficult achievement—making a hole-in-one, scoring a 147 break, or hitting a nine-darter?
Current world darts champion Humphries stated that for a beginner, accomplishing a 147 would pose the greatest challenge.
Nonetheless, he argued that for an experienced athlete, a nine-darter would be the more formidable task.
The world No. 1 remarked: “If you hand someone a set of darts, a snooker cue, and a golf club, I believe they would land a hole-in-one first, followed by a nine-darter, and then the 147. That would be the hardest one.”
“However, a professional understands all the angles in snooker.”
Former world snooker champion Murphy could be heard chuckling before responding, “I had no idea you were a comedian. A 147 is tougher than a nine-darter.”
Humphries countered, “What’s so amusing about that? Did you pay attention to what I said? I mentioned that as a pro, knowing the angles makes it appear simple.”
“In terms of frames to legs in darts, there are more 147s than nine-darters.”

Murphy then stated, “Well, that doesn’t mean it’s easier.”
The awkward back-and-forth concluded when Humphries quickly replied, “I never claimed it was easier.”
The only achievement during the challenge was the 147 break, which Murphy successfully scored.
