Greaves first woman to hit nine-darter on PDC ProTour

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.
