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 in the third leg of the game, hitting consecutive 180s and finishing with a double 12 after hitting treble 20 and treble 19.
Why It Matters
This achievement marks a significant milestone in women’s darts, showcasing Greaves’ exceptional talent and solidifying her status as a leading figure in the sport. Greaves has been a dominant force in the women’s game, having won 113 matches in a row in the PDC Women’s Series. Her performance not only highlights her skills but also serves as an inspiration for female players in a traditionally male-dominated sport.
What’s Next
Following her historic nine-dart finish, Greaves continued her campaign at the Players Championship 6, winning her match against Suljovic 6-5 before being eliminated by David Sharp in the third round. As she competes in 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 arena.
