What Happened
Beau Greaves, a 22-year-old darts player from Doncaster, made history by becoming the first woman to achieve a nine-dart finish on the PDC ProTour during her match against Mensur Suljovic at Players Championship 6 in Leicester. Greaves executed the perfect leg by hitting consecutive 180s and finishing with a double 12 after hitting treble 20 and treble 19.
Why It Matters
This milestone is significant not only for Greaves but also for the representation of women in darts, a sport traditionally dominated by men. Greaves has been a prominent figure in women’s darts, having won 113 consecutive matches in the PDC Women’s Series. Her achievement highlights the growing competitiveness and recognition of female players in the sport.
What’s Next
Following her historic nine-dart finish, Greaves continued her performance by winning the match 6-5 before being 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 herself in the professional darts scene.
