Beau Greaves “couldn’t believe it” as she made history in becoming the first woman to hit a nine-dart finish on the PDC ProTour.
The 22-year-old achieved the perfect leg in her Players Championship 6 match against Mensur Suljovic in Leicester.
After back-to-back 180s, Greaves took out 141 with treble 20, treble 19 and double 12.
“I couldn’t believe I’d hit it,” she said. “I’ve narrowly missed hitting one a few times so it was nice to finally hit one. It’s nice to be the first woman to hit one on the PDC ProTour.”
She went on to claim a 6-5 victory by clinching a final-leg decider, but was beaten 6-3 in the last 16 by David Sharp, who had earlier knocked out former world champion Peter Wright.
Doncaster’s Greaves has dominated the Women’s Series in recent years and beat Luke Littler on her way to the World Youth Championship final, before losing a close first-round meeting with Daryl Gurney in the PDC World Darts Championship in December.
