Beau Greaves has become the first woman to hit a nine-dart finish on the PDC ProTour, achieving the feat during her Players Championship 6 match against Mensur Suljovic in Leicester.
The 22-year-old from Doncaster threw three perfect darts in a leg, hitting consecutive 180s before taking out 141 with a double 12. Suljovic offered a handshake as Greaves appeared overwhelmed by the moment.
Greaves composed herself to win the last-32 match 6-5 in a deciding leg. She later said: 'I couldn’t believe I’d hit it! I just about hit the treble 19 and then I was quite confident that the double 12 was going in. I’ve narrowly missed hitting one a few times so it was nice to finally hit one.'
Despite her historic achievement, Greaves lost in the third round to David Sharp. Meanwhile, Gerwyn Price won the tournament with an 8-1 victory over Andrew Gilding in the final, averaging 98.68.
Price defeated Jonny Clayton and Kevin Doets en route to the title. Luke Humphries, Michael van Gerwen and Luke Littler were absent from the event.
