What Happened
Beau Greaves made history by becoming the first woman to achieve a nine-dart finish on the PDC ProTour during her match against Mensur Suljovic at the Players Championship 6 in Leicester. The 22-year-old from Doncaster executed the perfect leg by hitting consecutive 180s and finishing with a double 12, securing a 6-5 victory in a last-leg decider.
Why It Matters
This milestone marks a significant achievement in the world of darts, showcasing the growing prominence of female players in a traditionally male-dominated sport. Greaves, who has been a dominant force on the women’s tour, has previously won 113 matches in a row in the PDC Women’s Series. Her accomplishment not only highlights her skill but also serves as an inspiration for aspiring female darts players.
What’s Next
Following her historic performance, Greaves continued her participation in the tournament but was eliminated in the third round by David Sharp. As she embarks on her first year as a PDC Tour Card holder, Greaves aims to build on her success and further establish her presence in the professional darts scene.
