Beau Greaves Makes History with Nine-Dart Finish
Beau Greaves, a 22-year-old darts player from Doncaster, has made history by becoming the first female player to achieve a nine-dart finish on the PDC ProTour. This remarkable feat occurred during her match against Mensur Suljovic at the Players Championship 6, where she secured a 6-5 victory.
Greaves, who was competing in only her sixth Players Championship since obtaining a tour card for the 2026 season, expressed her disbelief at the achievement. “I couldn’t believe I’d hit it!” she stated, highlighting her excitement to share the moment with her father, who was watching the match.
The nine-darter was executed with precision, as Greaves hit consecutive 180s followed by a finish of 141, culminating in a double 12. Despite the nerves that followed her historic moment, she managed to maintain her composure to win the match.
Significance of the Achievement
This milestone is significant not only for Greaves but also for the representation of women in darts. As the first woman to hit a nine-dart finish on the PDC ProTour, Greaves is paving the way for future female players in a sport traditionally dominated by men. Her success comes at a time when women’s participation in darts is gaining momentum, and her achievement is expected to inspire a new generation of female players.
Future Prospects
Looking ahead, Greaves aims to build on her success in the PDC ProTour. Despite facing challenges with tension in her throw, she remains optimistic about her performance and is enjoying her journey in professional darts. As she continues to compete against some of the best players in the world, her historic nine-darter will undoubtedly serve as a source of motivation for her future matches.
