Crabtree, 21, hadn’t realised he had to choose his own walk-on song for the Minehead tournament at the weekend.

Cam Crabtree has a walk-on blunder at the UK OpenCredit: InstagramThe up-and-coming thrower was facing Wesley Plaisier in his first-round clash when he soon realised that there he was having his own walk-on and not sharing it with the Dutchman.
Crabtree had made no preparations for his individual moment in the spotlight and was given a random walk-on song as a result – Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic.
However, after smashing Plaisier 6-1, and then doing the same to Belgian Andy Baetens in the next round, the Croydon-born star might have to keep his new tune as a good luck charm.
Posting on X, he wrote: “Hope everyone enjoyed the UK Open this weekend!
“I didn’t realise I’d have a walk-on song, I thought it was joint. So I ended up being given 24K Magic by Bruno Mars.
“Any good suggestions for EuroTour this weekend? Or should I stick with that seeing as I won?”
Crabtree, who earned his PDC Tour Card in January, saw his luck run out in the third round, ultimately heading out after a 6-4 defeat to world number 71 Radek Szaganski.
The Englishman, who is nicknamed “Shazam”, has even seen himself creep into the top 100 rankings after his efforts at the UK Open, now sitting at 96th in the world rankings.

It was Luke Littler who went on to win the whole thing as The Nuke continued his fine form since being crowned world champion in January.
Littler breezed past James Wade 11-2 in the final, averaging over 101 at the oche.
Now focus switches to the Premier League for Littler with Night Five in Brighton getting underway on Thursday.
The Warrington Kid, who currently sits second in the Premier League standings, takes on Chris Dobey in his quarter-final clash on the south coast.
